  • Bright beautiful flowers for shaded garden areas!

Bright red color stands out in any container or garden bed, and Begonia Funky Red brings on a bright red color explosion despite thriving in shade. This easy-care annual flourishes in partial to nearly full shade. It also can take some heat, so it’s a great choice for entryways, patios and under the dappled shade of trees in peak summer heat.

These stunning red-flowered plants fare best in containers, which works well for their light and soil preferences. They reach nearly a foot high and 18 inches across as they grow in a mounding and trailing shape. The deep green leaves serve as a backdrop for the bright red fully double flowers, which appear nonstop from planting time until frost. This is one of the easiest and most striking plants for containers placed in shady areas around a home or garden.

Funky® Red Begonia Care

Plant your begonia in rich soil or potting mix that contains some organic matter. Water it well after planting and give it consistent water throughout the growing season. Begonias are known for their easy care. They should need no pruning. Gardeners can carefully pinch off faded flowers or leaves to keep energy going to new blooms.

Fertilize transplanted begonias after planting and a few times throughout the growing season. The plants need lots of energy to keep producing those deep red blooms. To continue enjoying Begonia Funky Red, you can bring the container indoors to extend its season. Cut back on watering a little bit while indoors, but enjoy the flowers for a few more weeks.

Funky® Red Begonia Spacing

Funny Red is a great container filler that just might steal the show from a taller featured plant. When growing several in a container, space them up to a foot apart. For a garden bed, space the plants about 18 inches from center to center.
