The Begonia Pendula Red, 'Begonia Pendula', a spring planted tuber, displays multitudes of beautiful red flowers. Pendula Begonias, sometimes called basket begonias, have smaller flowers than upright begonias, but what they lack in size they make up by producing great numbers of blooms. They are absolutely gorgeous in hanging baskets and they last for many months. Pendula Begonias need protection from sun, rain and wind. They also require more water than other begonias. Weekly light fertilization will also assist in keeping the blooms healthy and vibrant. Pendula Begonias cannot dry out when they are in full bloom, daily watering, or twice daily watering in very warm weather may be needed.
