Product description
Begonia Odorata Pink Flamingo is a delightful tuberous begonia, producing large, double pink flowers with a pleasant fragrance. Its semi-trailing habit makes it perfect for adding a touch of elegance to hanging baskets and containers.
This begonia thrives in partial shade, preferring well-drained, fertile soil. Regular watering and feeding during the growing season will encourage abundant blooms from June to September.
At the end of the growing season, reduce watering as the foliage dies back. Lift and clean the tubers before storing them in peat or sand at 7-15 °C (45-60 °F) until replanting in early spring.
