(Angelwing Begonia) Great in any light location, SUREFIRE® Rose is sure to be a favorite! SUREFIRE® Rose begonia has beautiful clusters of rosy pink blooms that are nestled atop the bronze-green foliage. Planted in full sun to full shade, SUREFIRE® Rose stands 12 -24 inches tall and wide. If you are looking for a long blooming annual that will take you from the spring through the fall, SUREFIRE® Rose is a great choice. A strong, upright habit is a must for such a large plant, and this is what SUREFIRE® begonias deliver. Plant SUREFIRE® Rose in a larger hanging basket, or in the landscape for color like no other. Once established, SUREFIRE® begonias are drought tolerant and can handle a light frost in the fall. A Garden Crossings Favorite!

Reviews

For a few years I was growing all my wax begonias from seed since I use them so much everywhere in the garden- this is my first year growing the Surefire, and boy- it is a great plant! Everything about it from growth habit to bloom size and color is excellent! I have them in an eastern set of hayracks, next year I will have to make financial plunge and put them in my garden beds because they are that much better than the starts I get (not to mention you have to start begonia seeds in Jan!)

The plants arrived in perfect condition. I planted some in a container with other annuals and others around the base of a tree. All have grown quickly and are blooming profusely. They are a beautiful shade of pink, although lighter than in the photos.
