Begonia ‘Lynda Dawn’ — Angel Wing Begonia

Description

Begonia ‘Lynda Dawn’ is an angel wing begonia with patterned green leaves. The foliage may show silver, red, or bronze tones. Soft pink or white flowers can appear during active growth.

This begonia works well in a pot or warm shaded display. It likes soft light, steady warmth, and good airflow.

Light

Give it bright, indirect light. Strong sun can burn the leaves. Low light may make the stems stretch. For another angel wing begonia, see Begonia ‘Flo Belle Moseley’.

Water and Soil

Use loose soil that drains well. Water when the top of the mix starts to dry. Let extra water drain away. Do not leave the roots in wet soil. For a taller foliage type, see Begonia luxurians.

Growth and Care

Trim long or weak stems to keep a full shape. Feed lightly while new growth is active. Remove old or damaged leaves. Repot when the roots fill the pot.

More Begonias

Keep the plant warm and protect it from frost. Check new growth for pests. For a compact tropical begonia, see Begonia orococo.
