BabyWing® Bicolor Begonia

BabyWing® Bicolor is a compact interspecific begonia with upright, mounded growth and a distinctive bicolor flower pattern described by its breeder as having an orange glow. The controlled habit suits landscape beds and containers, where the plant can provide a dense flowering accent without the broad trailing spread of some begonias. ## Cultivar and placement The [PanAmerican Seed profile](https://www.panamseed.com/Products/009203824000547/begonia-babywing-bicolor/) identifies this exact selection as Begonia interspecific, code PAS1085212. It lists a height of 12–15 inches and width of 10–12 inches, with an upright, mounded habit, heat tolerance, and use in landscapes and containers. Flowering is listed from early spring through autumn; the breeder says the plant is daylength neutral and floriferous. Exposure is listed broadly as shade or sun. The Bicolor flowers are described as a novel color pattern with an orange glow, rather than a single solid hue. ## Growing context The compact form fits foreground beds and container groupings, and the breeder lists both sun and shade exposure. Protect the plant from frost in cool weather. ## Maintenance Plant in a draining bed or container and check moisture during hot weather, especially in pots. Remove tired growth if needed to maintain a compact outline, and protect the plant from frost when grown outdoors.
