All the beauty and grace of traditional begonias plus a fluffy double-bloom form and intoxicating fragrance to boot! This new Belgian strain of begonia boasts all three. Big, gorgeous double flowers of pale pink to white brighten up shady places in the landscape from early summer to the first frost of fall. The back of the outside petals are a strong coral pink, almost salmon, which gives the front of the white petals that warm pink glow.
Fragrant Hanging Begonia Angelique is a newer variety of Begonia odorata that produces a tumbling cascading of full, white blushed pink blooms that trail elegantly down the sides of hanging baskets and pots. A little more expensive compared to its lesser scented siblings - but well worth it for the combination of explosive blooms and enchanting summer fragrance.
This begonia needs a rich but well-drained soil in a partially shaded location. It should receive direct sunlight only early in the morning. Because these are very tender tropical plants, they are most often grown in containers indoors or outdoors, or in the ground in areas with warm winters and comfortable (not overly hot) summers. Excessive heat and humidity in summer will diminish and eventually wither these begonias, even though this series is best suited for areas with hotter summers. When plants begin to yellow in the autumn after flowering, reduce watering to induce the natural winter dormancy. In cold climates, this is the time that the tubers should be lifted and stored inside in a cool, dry location until buds reappear in the spring. They may be replanted in pots or outdoors once danger of frost has passed and soil temperatures are warm.
