Begonia Viking™ Explorer Rose on Green F1

2022 AAS Ornamental Winner

Erase that sea-faring conqueror image and replace it with this garden-faring beauty that performs exceptionally well and has high impact color. This trailing begonia “explores” the garden by spreading and spilling its branches over the edges of hanging baskets and containers. Prolific rose-colored flowers stand out against the glossy green foliage and do so all season long. It has a strong tolerance to heat & many diseases, as well as both wet & dry conditions. “Stellar performance for containers” states one AAS Judge. “Good plant with season-long integrity,” says another. These new Vikings are sure to be a garden favorite.
