Zone: DARK LEAF PINK BEGONIA
Begonia Dark Leaf Pink is a sophisticated choice for gardeners looking for a high-contrast floral display. It features deep bronze-to-maroon foliage that serves as a dramatic backdrop for its soft pink blossoms. It maintains a tidy, mounded habit, typically growing 8 to 12 inches tall, making it excellent for uniform mass plantings. Because the leaves are naturally darker, they contain more pigments that help the plant withstand intense light, allowing the pink petals to pop without the foliage looking washed out.
In the landscape, Begonia Dark Leaf Pink is a powerhouse performer that excels in everything from full sun to partial shade. Its ability to handle higher light levels makes it more flexible than many green-leafed types, though it still appreciates some relief from extreme afternoon heat. It is best used for edging garden beds, filling out window boxes, or providing a steady "filler" in mixed patio pots. To keep it thriving, ensure it is planted in well-drained soil and receives regular water - allowing the soil to dry slightly between applications - along with a balanced liquid fertilizer every few weeks to maintain its heavy bloom cycle.
