Description
This Begonia Tuberhybrida 'Balcony Pink' is a tuberous plant producing a mix of large single or double flowers, all frilly. Each one is a combination of white and pink in two different shades. This vibrant variety is perfect for dressing up a shaded balcony. It cascades gracefully, overflowing from hanging baskets and large planters. With proper care, it is possible to make it bloom again.
The 'Balcony Pink' Begonia belongs to the Begoniaceae family and is part of the tuberous hybrid begonias, whose parents mainly originate from Andean tropical forests. It is a cultivar combining the characteristics of the Picotee and Pendula groups, blooming tirelessly from July to October. It will reach a width of 25cm (10in) and a height of 35cm (14in) at maturity. It shows a compact but trailing habit from spring onwards. Its foliage is deciduous, fleshy, medium green, alternate, with very serrated edges. The leaf blades are always asymmetrical and have a waxy texture; the petioles have stipules at their base. The stems of this begonia are brittle. Its large flowers, with a minimum diameter of 8cm (3in), mix white and bright pale pink on their pleated petals resembling crêpe paper, with irregularly fringed edges and speckled with various shades of old rose. After flowering, the plant enters dormancy. The tubers will be cultivated like those of Dahlias.
Begonias are unrivalled for decorating shaded areas. They are equally at home in well-maintained flower beds, in the company of lighter flowers, as they are in pots on the terrace or in hanging baskets. This superb variety will be perfectly showcased in hanging baskets in the conservatory or on the balcony. Finally, it is good to know that there are hardy begonias, such as Begonia grandis.

Planting and care
Plant your 'Balcony Pink' begonias in a shaded or slightly sunny location, in light and moist soil rich in humus. Begonias dislike heavy soils, so lighten it if necessary with some sand. Plant after the last frost, one per pot about twenty cm apart, or spaced 25cm (10in) apart in the ground. Position the tuber with the concave (hollow) part facing upwards and cover with 5cm (2in) of soil. Like Dahlias, you can speed up their growth cycle by planting them in pots as early as February, kept sheltered, and then taking them outside in May. Water regularly. Apply begonia fertilizer at planting, and then twice a month during the season. Remove faded flowers. Dig up the bulbs before the first frost and store them in a bit of turf, in a dry and cool place, during winter. It is a shade-loving plant that will thrive if it gets a few hours of sunlight each day. It prefers light soils rich in organic matter (well-decomposed garden compost) that do not retain moisture. Additionally, it is quite susceptible to powdery mildew and nematodes and requires regular but not excessive watering. Begonias are frost-sensitive plants, so they cannot tolerate negative temperatures. For this reason, they are often cultivated in containers that can easily be brought indoors into heated greenhouses or verandas at the first frost. If planted in the ground, now is the time to remove them and store them safely until the following spring.

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.
