Cane begonia

The cane begonias are a group of Begonia cultivars. Their name derives from their tough, bamboo-like stems.^[1] They can grow up to 10 ft (3.0 m) tall, which may necessitate staking. They are often ideal as houseplants when kept under control.^[2]

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.^{[citation needed]}

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]
