Description
The Begonia (x) hybrida 'Viking Trailing Pink' is distinguished by its vigor, trailing habit, and generous flowering in a bright pink colour. These qualities make it an excellent plant for hanging baskets or large pots. This variety offers numerous brightly coloured flowers for a very long period, enhanced by its vibrant and shiny green foliage. And this regardless of the weather, in partial shade or even in full sun.
The Begonia 'Viking Trailing Pink' is a non-hardy herbaceous perennial plant, grown as an annual, belonging to the begonia family. It is the result of successive hybridizations of several species originating from Brazil. This variety is part of a series of very recent hybrids selected in the USA for their vigorous growth and remarkable, if not unique, colours. 'Viking Trailing Pink' has long fleshy stems covered with thick heart-shaped leaves of a beautiful vibrant green colour, about 5 cm (2in) long. This plant will quickly reach a height of 40 cm (16in) with a diameter of 65 cm (26in). Appearing in May-June and lasting until the first frost, its flowers are asymmetrical and cup-shaped. They face upwards and are composed of rounded petals arranged around a small yellow center, gathered in axillary clusters.
This Begonia Viking Trailing Pink tolerates full sun well, but it can also be placed in partial shade, especially in regions where the summer sun is scorching. It can be used in hanging baskets, troughs, balcony planters, or large flowering pots. The Viking series begonias also make beautiful mixed borders. They pair well with light foliage and flower plants such as lobelias, annual pennisetums, bacopas, bidens, as well as petunias. For a more exotic look, they can be combined with dwarf cannas or Hedychiums to create a colorful border.
Note: Please be advised that our young plug plants are professional products reserved for experienced gardeners. Upon receipt, transplant and store them in a sheltered area (conservatory, greenhouse, cold frame) at a temperature above 14°C (57.2°F) for a few weeks before planting them outdoors once the risk of frost has passed.

Planting and care
The 'Viking Trailing Pink' Begonia blooms from May-June until the first frost. It should be planted in a well-drained, fertile, humus-rich, and light soil, moist but not waterlogged, in full sun or partial shade. Water moderately (it cannot tolerate excess water!) and provide frequent fertilization for abundant flowering. During the growing season, it is helpful to provide flowering plant fertilizer every week. Beware of snails and slugs that love to devour young plants. Begonias can be susceptible to powdery mildew and botrytis. They are frost-sensitive and cannot tolerate freezing temperatures. For this reason, they are often cultivated in containers that can be easily brought indoors to greenhouses or heated conservatories at the first signs of frost.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
