Begonia Baby Wing Pink (Begonia × hybrida) – a compact, elegant begonia known for its fine, angel-wing–shaped foliage and soft pink blooms that appear almost continuously. Smaller and more refined than the Dragon Wing types, it forms a neat, upright plant ideal for pots, borders and any lightly shaded area that needs reliable colour. Baby Wing varieties are tough, easy to grow and perfectly suited to Western Cape conditions.
Why You'll Love It:
• Soft pink flowers produced almost year-round
• Compact, tidy growth habit ideal for smaller spaces
• Performs beautifully in morning sun or bright shade
• Glossy, wing-shaped leaves add texture and interest
• Excellent for patio pots, planters and semi-shaded beds
• Low-maintenance with consistent, dependable colour
Planting & Care:
Plant in bright shade or gentle morning sun in fertile, well-draining soil. Water regularly, keeping the soil lightly moist but not saturated. Feed every 4–6 weeks with a balanced liquid fertiliser to support continuous flowering. Pinch off spent blooms if needed to keep the plant neat.
