Noted for its tolerance to hot and humid weather, Begonia ‘Dragon Wing Pink’ is famed for its lush and attractive, angel-wing shaped, shiny, dark green foliage and its cascades of dangling clusters of coral-pink flowers. Even when temperatures blaze, Dragon Wing keeps on pumping out the color in the landscape or containers all season. Incredibly vigorous, this favorite among the shade loving plants will successfully add bright notes of summer color to your beds, borders, window boxes and containers. Excellent edging plant too!

  • Enjoying continuous blooms from late spring to frost, Begonia ‘Dragon Wing’ typically forms bushy mounds up to 12-18 in. tall and across (30-45 cm).
  • Prefers partial shade and light, rich, moist and well-drained soils. Full shade is tolerated. Provide good air circulation and protect your Begonia from strong winds!
  • Ridiculously easy to grow, deer and rabbit resistant and care-free!
  • Tender perennials, Begonias are not winter hardy. In cooler areas than zones 9-11, dig up the tubers before the first frost and store them dormant in a cool dry place over winter.
  • Toxic to dogs, toxic to cats, toxic to horses.
