Classification
Angel wing
Angel wing begonias are hybrid cane begonias which resulted from a cross between Begonia aconitifolia and B. coccinea. The hybridization was made by California plant breeder Eva Kenworthy Gray in 1926.[3] The name derives from their pointed leaves.[1]
The flowers are edible, with a sweet tart taste.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
Dragon wing
The dragon wing cultivars are sterile, cane forming Begonia × hybrida. They are very similar to Christmas candy begonias and angel wings.[4][5] To guarantee that Begonia "Dragon Wing" and its companion plants grow in the same place, consider companion plants that have comparable light and water needs. Begonias require partial shade and well-draining soil, and should be watered on a regular basis but allowed to dry out somewhat between waterings.[6]
Superba
The superba begonias are cultivars of Begonia aconitifolia.[1]
