Know before you buy
Begonia seeds are naturally tiny and difficult to handle, so they are coated in a clay-like material to make them larger and easier to sow. You should plant them exactly as you would a standard seed, ensuring they remain on the surface of the soil since they require light to germinate.
No, do not cover the seeds. Begonia Dragon Wing seeds require light to germinate, so they should be pressed firmly into the surface of your moist seed-starting mix and left exposed.
While Dragon Wing begonias are known for their heat tolerance, they perform best in partial shade. They can handle more sun than traditional begonias, but they will look their best if protected from the harshest afternoon heat.
Because of their vigorous, spreading habit, one or two plants are usually sufficient for a standard 10-to-12-inch hanging basket. They will quickly fill the space and trail over the edges with their large, glossy leaves and blooms.
Yes, the Dragon Wing series is specifically bred for high heat tolerance. They are a reliable choice for summer gardens where other begonias might struggle or stop blooming due to high temperatures.
Yes, because they have a specific temperature requirement for germination and a relatively long growing season, they should be started indoors as transplants. You will need to maintain a soil temperature of 70-75°F to ensure reliable germination.
