Begonia ‘Dragon Wing Red’ — Red Flowering Begonia

Description

Begonia ‘Dragon Wing Red’ is a bold plant for warm shade. It has glossy green leaves and bright red flowers. The stems arch as the plant grows, so it looks good in pots, baskets, and garden beds.

Easy Color for Shade

Give this begonia bright shade or gentle morning sun. Keep the soil moist, but let extra water drain away. For more bright foliage nearby, pair it with Caladium ‘White Christmas’.

Simple Care

Water when the top of the soil starts to feel dry. Avoid soil that stays wet for a long time. A light feeding during active growth can help keep the plant full and blooming.

Its red flowers also stand out well beside colorful shade plants such as Coleus ‘Alabama Sunset’. For a soft trailing accent, try Callisia repens ‘Pink’.

Where to Grow It

Use Dragon Wing Red in porch pots, hanging baskets, window boxes, or shaded beds. It grows fast in warm weather and can flower for much of the season. Protect it from frost.
