Sparks will fly wherever this showy begonia is planted. Dainty red flowers flow so abundantly, a mature plant looks almost like it’s on fire. Not to be outdone, the glossy wing-shaped foliage is gorgeous in a medium green that sets off the coral embers perfectly. Dragon Wing Red blooms continuously until a fall frost, at which point it can be brought inside as a houseplant. Dragon Wing Red is a type of Angel Wing Begonia, but whether you see dragons or angels, you’re sure to love this high-flying star.

An Award of Garden Merit winner from the Royal Horticultural Society, vigorous Dragon Wing Red makes a strong accent as a thriller centerpiece for a container, as a one-plant-show for a hanging basket, or a great choice for mass plantings and edging in the shady garden. This hybrid is known for its heat and humidity tolerance. With a mounded shape of 18 inches high and wide, and a tropical look to the foliage, this plant will shine as a focal point in any shady spot. As a bonus, it is deer- and rabbit-resistant.

Dragon Wing® Red Begonia Care

Full shade will be tolerated, but Dragon Wing Red will perform at its best in a partially shaded location, with evenly moist soil and good drainage. It likes good air circulation. Before frost hits, you can move your Dragon Wing inside to prolong the show for next year. Check for any stowaway pests and remove any discolored or wilted foliage.

Indoors, you can choose to allow it to go dormant in a cooler location like a garage, or keep it growing. If growing on, give Dragon Wing Red a location with bright, indirect light with even soil moisture. You may see some leaf drop as the plant adapts to indoor conditions. Keep humidity up with a pebble tray and water and/or misting often.

Dragon Wing® Red Begonia Spacing

In the ground, a spacing of 18 to 24 inches is ideal. In containers, 15 inches is sufficient.

    Terrible

    Posted by Tracey Salazar on May 06, 2022

    My plants shipped late, came very very tiny and were broken. We shall see if they survivor. I went to a big box store, they had them and I purchased more. The ones local were big, $5 each versus the $14.59 I paid on this site. I will not purchase plants online ever again
