Dragon Wing® Pink Begonia Seeds

so rewarding to watch these babies grow! They loved the mostly shaded back deck in high elevation Colorado, overwintering very well inside in a cool, southern exposure window. Have been in Arizona for 1 month and they are under a covered north facing patio. The colors are becoming more vibrant again! So unique and enjoyable. Mine are staked in pot to protect from breaking in wind.

These germinated well under my grow light and on a heat mat. They produced prolific blooms until frost and grew quite tall. I kept them in a large pot and they were very happy.

This is the first time I tried growing these and started them late/early summer. They germinated quickly and I transplanted them to two hanging planters off my back patio (heavy shade, 3 hrs. sun only per day). They are so pretty, the pink is lovely, not too pale. The foliage is also really beautiful, unblemished and shiny. I can't wait to grow these again in hanging side planters. Also, another great aspect, they are self cleaning, no need to groom, etc. Mine not bothered by anything. Seeds ordered already for 2014. Try them, so great!

Not purchased before, but I bought one on impulse. My front bed is in deep shade where few flowers will bloom. Planted in the deepest shade, it produced an incredible amount of blooms and was tall enough to use in the rear of the bed, Unlike most bedding and tuberous begonias. One of my all time favorites in 60 years of cultivation.
