Doublet Pink, also known as Begonia semperflorens or Wax Begonia, is a perennial native to South America. Danziger developed the Doublet series for early flowering and superior heat tolerance. This compact plant offers a mounding habit of 12-14" tall and 8-10" wide, with frilly pink double flowers blooming from mid-spring to mid-fall.

Bring color variety to the landscape by planting Pink alongside Red, Rose, and White in borders or hanging baskets.

Before we take this relationship any further...
It looks like this is the first time you've added anything to your cart.
We just wanted to remind you that we are a wholesale starter plant company that sells to businesses, schools, clubs, and other non-profits. State law dictates that you must be growing for resale to order from us since we are not collecting sales tax.
If we aren't a match, we understand. It's not you, it's us.
We would look awful in orange jumpsuits.
