Topspin™ DLF Pink Begonia

Topspin™ DLF Pink is a wax begonia for seasonal color in containers, mixed plantings, and low borders. Wax begonias flower through the warmer growing season and fit both formal bedding and casual pots. Use site conditions to guide light and watering. ## Light and placement Grow wax begonias in sun or partial shade. In hot sites, partial afternoon shade is a useful option; place them in beds or containers with free-draining soil. The [NC State guide to wax begonia types](https://plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/begonia-wax-types/) and the [RHS wax begonia profile](https://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/25707/begonia-semperflorens-hort/details) describe the group’s garden use and growing conditions. ## Soil and water Keep the growing medium evenly moist without leaving roots in standing water. Check containers more often during warm, dry weather, since pots dry faster than garden beds. Adjust the schedule to rainfall and the site rather than following a fixed calendar. ## Seasonal use Wax begonias are tender to frost and commonly used as annual bedding plants in colder regions. Wait until frost danger has passed before setting them outdoors; protect or move containers when cold nights return. Their display is strongest during warm weather. ## Maintenance Remove damaged growth and spent flowers when needed to keep the planting tidy. Keep container drainage open and check moisture routinely, especially during hot spells.
