Description
The Begonia semperflorens 'Super Olympia Pink' is a new variety of annual begonia with a bushy and compact habit supported by dense and vigorous greenery that resists bad weather. This version has longlasting flowers of bright pink, far from being dull. Its pretty single or double corollas are arranged around a small yellow heart and grouped in clusters on round and shiny foliage of a beautiful bright green. Like all semperflorens hybrids, this variety blooms continuously until the frost. It prefers shade or partial shade.
The Begonia 'Super Olympia Pink' is a non-hardy herbaceous perennial plant, grown as an annual, belonging to the Begoniaceae family. It is derived from Begonia semperflorens, a hybrid between two species native to Brazil. This variety is part of a series of recent hybrids selected for their compact, vigorous and bushy habit, their floriferousness, as well as for their very vibrant colors. 'Super Olympia Pink' has stout and fleshy stems covered with tough, rounded leaves of a beautiful fresh green color, shiny, about 5 cm (2 in) long. This very branching plant will quickly reach 20 cm (7.9 in) in all directions. Appearing in May-June and present until the first frosts, its abundant flowers are asymmetrical, cup-shaped, composed of rounded, dark pink petals arranged around a small yellow heart and grouped in axillary clusters. Begonias are monoecious and bear flowers with exclusively male attributes (single flowers) and others female (double flowers). They are gathered in numerous terminal clusters.
This Begonia is ideal for brightening up shady areas, but it can also be placed in partial shade. It can be used in flower beds, tubs, hanging baskets or large flowering pots. Begonias of the Super Olympia series form very beautiful ground cover, in a mix of varieties. They go well with plants with light foliage and flowers, such as lobelias, annual pennisetums, bacopas, bidens, but also with petunias. For a more exotic feel, a colourful flowerbed can be created by combining the Begonia 'Super Olympia Pink' with cannas or Hedychiums. It is also good to know that hardy begonia varieties exist, such as Begonia grandis.
Please note that our young plants in mini-plugs are professional products intended for experienced gardeners: upon receipt, transplant and store them under shelter (veranda, greenhouse, frame) at a temperature above 14C° for a few weeks before planting outside once all risk of frost has passed.

Planting and care
The Begonia 'Super Olympia Pink' flowers from May until the first frosts. Place it in a well-drained, fertile, humus-rich and light soil, moist but not waterlogged, in full sun or partial shade. Water moderately (it does not tolerate excess water!) and provide frequent fertilisation for intense flowering - each week during the growing season. Beware of snails and slugs that love to devour young plants. The Begonia semperflorens can be susceptible to powdery mildew and botrytis. Begonia is a frost-sensitive plant, so it does not tolerate negative temperatures. For this reason, it is often cultivated in containers that can be easily brought indoors to greenhouses or under a heated veranda at the first signs of frost.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
