More About Begonia ‘Dragon Wing® Pink’

Begonia ‘Dragon Wing® Pink’ is one of the most reliable and widely planted begonias available, prized for its nonstop flowering and exceptional adaptability. The bright pink blooms are produced continuously on gracefully arching stems, creating a cascading effect that adds softness and movement to containers and landscape beds alike.

Unlike many begonias that prefer shade, Dragon Wing® varieties are bred for strong sun tolerance. ‘Dragon Wing® Pink’ performs beautifully in full sun to partial shade, maintaining glossy foliage and heavy bloom even through heat, humidity, and summer rain.

Why We Like It (Our Trials)

In our trials, ‘Dragon Wing® Pink’ consistently delivers season-long color with very little maintenance. It establishes quickly, fills space evenly, and continues blooming without the need for deadheading. The flowers are self-cleaning, and the foliage remains attractive and disease-resistant throughout the season.

We especially like its versatility. It works just as well as a spiller in mixed containers as it does in landscape beds where it creates a full, lush look. It’s also one of the few begonias we confidently recommend for sunny locations—an important advantage for gardeners dealing with heat and intense light.

Dragon Wing® Pink vs Other Dragon Wing® Begonia

Dragon Wing® Pink strikes a middle ground between the subtle elegance of Dragon Wing® White and the bold intensity of Dragon Wing® Red . Its soft pink flowers add warmth and charm without overpowering surrounding plants, giving it a gentler presence than Dragon Wing® Red while still offering more color interest than White. Compared to the other two, Pink is especially effective in romantic or pastel-themed plantings, where it adds personality while maintaining the same vigorous growth and nonstop flowering the series is known for.
