FAQs

Where should I plant my Dragon Wing Begonias so they grow the best?

What is the best use for Dragon Wing Begonias?

What happens to Dragon Wing Begonias in full sun?
Full sun will turn the edges of the dark, glossy leaves to red and make them curl, but it will not be harmful to the plants.

How big do Dragon Wing Begonias grow?
These plants build bigger, better begonia baskets and grow great gardens. They also fill in fast! This vigorous plant will reach a maximum height of 14 to 16 in. (35 to 41 cm) and spread to about 15 to 18 in. (38 to 46 cm) in the garden.

Do Dragon Wing Begonias need any extra care?
These plants are durable and will tolerate a wide range of growing conditions. This easy-care begonia is self-cleaning, meaning the old blooms make way for new ones.

Feed them regularly every 2 weeks with an all-purpose fertilizer. They’ll even tell you when they need more food – when the leaves turn a reddish-bronze color, it’s time to fertilize.
