The Begonia 'Sunbrero Dark Pink' is part of a series of very floriferous begonias, sun-tolerant and with a well-rounded habit. It bears lovely double flowers that resemble roses in their shape and intense pink colour. They continue to bloom until the first frosts, on a densely branched plant that does not exceed 25 cm (10in) in all directions. Its corollas, large compared to the size of the plant, open on a round and shiny dark green foliage. Begonia 'Sunbrero' can be planted from April, in partial shade or even in full sun, in borders or pots. It requires little maintenance.
The Begonia 'Sunbrero Dark Pink' is a non-hardy herbaceous perennial plant (it perishes below -4°C (24.8°F)), grown as an annual, belonging to the begonia family. It is derived from the Begonia semperflorens, a hybrid between two species native to Brazil. 'Sunbrero' has stout, fleshy stems, covered with leathery, rounded leaves of a beautiful dark green colour, shiny, about 5 cm (2in) long. This branched plant with an upright habit quickly reaches 25 cm (10in) in all directions. Appearing from June and present until the first frosts, its flowers are composed of multiple rounded petals, arranged around a tight little heart. Begonias are monoecious and bear exclusively male attributes (single flowers) and other female attributes (double flowers). They are grouped in numerous terminal clusters.
The Begonia 'Sunbrero Dark Pink' is used in borders, in planters, balcony boxes or in large flower pots. The begonias of this Sunbrero series form beautiful borders, with a mix of varieties, in both full sun and partial shade. For a border planting, plan about 10 plants per square meter. They combine well with light foliage and flower plants, such as lobelias, annual pennisetums, bacopas, bidens, but also with petunias. In a more exotic spirit, a colourful scene can be created by associating the border begonia with cannas or hedychiums. Finally, it is good to know that there are hardy begonias, such as Begonia grandis.
Note: Attention, our young plug plants are professional products reserved for experienced gardeners: upon receipt, transplant and store them in a sheltered place (veranda, greenhouse, cold frame) at a temperature above 14°C (57.2°F) for a few weeks before being installed outdoors once the risk of frost is definitively removed.

Botanical data
The 'Sunbrero Dark Pink' Begonia should be planted in a well-drained, fertile, humus-rich and light soil, moist but not waterlogged, in full sun or partial shade. Excess moisture makes it susceptible to diseases. Water moderately (it cannot tolerate excess water!) and provide frequent fertilization for intense flowering. During the growing season, it is beneficial to apply flowering plant fertilizer every week. Beware of snails and slugs that love to devour young plants. The Semperflorens Begonia can be susceptible to powdery mildew and botrytis. Begonias are sensitive to frost, so they cannot tolerate freezing temperatures. For this reason, they are often grown in containers that can be easily brought indoors into greenhouses or heated conservatories at the first signs of frost.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
