Meet the Pink Begonia—a true belle of the garden world. With her soft, rosy blooms and lush foliage, the pink begonia has long symbolized gratitude, gentleness, and feminine charm. In the language of flowers, she speaks volumes without saying a word—just like the women in our lives who carry beauty and strength with quiet grace.
A Little History:
Begonias were first discovered in the 17th century and named by a French botanist in honor of Michel Bégon, a governor and plant enthusiast. Over time, they’ve traveled from the lush tropics to the front porches and window boxes of the South, finding a forever home in hearts and gardens alike.
Where She Grows Best:
Pink Begonias thrive in bright, indirect light—perfect for a shaded porch or a sun-dappled windowsill. They adore warm temps but can be sensitive to direct heat. Think morning sun, sweet tea, and a breeze off the magnolias.
Care Tips:
- Water when the top inch of soil feels dry—avoid soggy roots!
- Keep in well-draining soil, and don’t let water sit on the leaves.
- Pinch back blooms to encourage fuller growth and longer flowering.
- Fertilize monthly during spring and summer for the most blooms.
Life Cycle:
Pink Begonias are often grown as annuals here in Georgia, but indoors or in the right climate, they can grace your life year-round. They bloom from spring through fall, adding charm to patios, porches, and little garden corners meant for coffee and good company.
Perfect Companions:
Pair your begonia with impatiens, caladiums, coleus, or fern varieties for a layered, cottage-style container or shady garden bed. Together, they create a soft symphony of color and texture—like a Sunday brunch with old friends.
