Begonia boliviensis Summerwings Orange Innbolora

This Boliviensis hybrid Begonia is a vigorous and very floriferous variety, initially upright in habit and then trailing, ideal for window boxes and hanging baskets. It quickly forms a dense cascade of elongated green foliage and numerous flowers in bright orange, with single and elongated corollas. Low-maintenance and not demanding, it blooms for a very long period in both sun and shade.

The 'Summerwings Orange' Begonia is an herbaceous annual plant belonging to the begonia family. This variety is part of a series of hybrids selected for their fast growth, floriferousness, ramified and trailing habit, as well as their great resistance and ease of cultivation. 'Summerwings Orange' will quickly reach a height of 30 cm (12in) and a diameter of 50 cm (20in), and can cascade up to 60-70 cm (24-28in). Appearing in June and lasting until the first frost, its flowers are single, elongated, composed of wing-shaped petals, in a bright and shiny orange color. They are gathered in clusters and bloom among elegant elongated leaves. The plant tolerates partial shade and sun, as well as rainy and cool summers, as well as heatwaves, which do not prevent it from flowering.

Begonia is ideal for full sun, but can also be placed in partial shade. It can be used in containers, window boxes, or hanging baskets. The Summerwings Begonias go well with Impatiens and lobelias. Begonias are also comfortable in well-maintained flowerbeds, alongside lighter flowers, or grown in pots on the patio. Finally, it is good to know that there are hardy begonias, such as Begonia grandis.
