Bionic™ Green Leaf Red Begonia

Bionic™ Green Leaf Red is an upright interspecific begonia with red flowers and green foliage. Syngenta lists it at 20–24 inches tall and 24–28 inches wide, with late-spring and summer flowering and exposure from full shade to full sun. ## Flowers and form The large red flowers stand above green leaves on a branched plant. The breeder describes Bionic as heat-loving and self-cleaning, with color through the growing season. ## Light and placement Use this selection in a container or landscape bed. Its broad exposure range allows placement in sun or shade; leave room for its listed spread in a mixed planting. The [exact Green Leaf Red profile](https://www.syngentaflowers.com/ams/product/flower/70109416) lists the color, habit, size, bloom timing, and USDA zone 11a. ## Maintenance Grow it in well-drained soil and water as the medium begins to dry, adjusting for container size and warm weather. Protect it from frost; in colder climates, grow it as a warm-season annual or move a container to shelter.
