Bionic™ Bronze Leaf Red Begonia

Bionic™ Bronze Leaf Red is a seed-grown interspecific begonia with upright growth, bronze foliage, and red flowers. Syngenta lists the exact product as Begonia x hybrida, with a 20–24 inch height and 24–28 inch width; actual growth varies with culture and climate. ## Flowering and use The breeder lists flowering in late spring and summer and recommends the series for landscapes and containers. Its sturdy, branched form suits larger planters and garden beds where the broad spread has room to develop. ## Growing conditions Bionic is described as performing from full shade to full sun and tolerating heat. Adjust placement to local temperature and light, particularly in hot climates, and use a well-drained planting medium. The [Syngenta cultivar profile](https://www.syngentaflowers.com/ams/product/flower/70109415) gives exact color, size, flowering season, and hardiness information. Syngenta’s [Bionic series guide](https://online.flippingbook.com/view/223248936) provides broader series context for branching, heat performance, and landscape/container use. ## Maintenance The Bionic series is described as self-cleaning, so routine deadheading is generally unnecessary. Remove damaged foliage when needed and check container moisture during hot weather. Provide space for the plant’s broad habit.
