Adora™ Satin Rose Begonia

Adora™ Satin Rose is a compact hybrid begonia with petite double blooms in pink and rose tones set against dark green foliage. Its tidy, mounded shape works well in patio pots, mixed containers, and hanging baskets, where it supplies color from spring into summer. ## Form and flowering The [Syngenta Flowers profile for Adora™ Satin Rose](https://www.syngentaflowers.com/ams/product/flower/70095700) confirms this exact selection in the Adora series. Syngenta describes the series as medium vigor with dark-green foliage and double flowers, and lists a mounded form, Part Sun exposure, mature size of 8–12 inches tall by 10–14 inches wide, and bloom from mid-spring through summer. The cultivar profile categorizes Satin Rose flowers as pink/rose. These dimensions align with the current catalog measurements. The [University of California IPM begonia guide](https://ipm.ucanr.edu/home-and-landscape/begonia/) recommends filtered shade or bright indirect light and regular moisture in rich, well-drained soil. ## Placement and care Choose a bright location with filtered light or gentle morning sun; shelter plants from hot afternoon rays. Use a loose, fertile potting mix that drains freely while holding some moisture. Water when the surface begins to dry, avoiding a constantly soggy root zone. Adora’s compact habit makes it suited to smaller containers and mixed plantings. ## Maintenance Remove damaged foliage and faded flower stems to keep the plant neat. Pinch lightly if needed to maintain a balanced mound, and protect from frost. In most climates, grow it outdoors as a warm-season annual.
