Torch Pink Cane Begonia

Torch Pink is a cane-type Begonia that can reach up to 4 feet tall over the growing season. As a container plant, it's a thriller, a filler, and a spiller all in one. The flowers are bright pink and the light green leaves have a light underside, making it a great candidate for a hanging basket as well.

Cane Begonias can take somewhat more sun than our familiar wax begonia. In fact, if you're wintering them indoors, you can give them a south window. Because of their size, they need a somewhat richer soil than other types. And you may want to pinch them back during the growing season to promote bushier growth.
