Plant Information
Top Tips
Give your begonias afternoon shade. Watch how the sun moves around in your garden so you can put your begonias in a space that gets plenty of afternoon shade. While they do well with morning sun, begonias prefer to cool off in the afternoon.
Hanging baskets and containers are ideal, as you can move them around as the sun shifts.
Care Guide
- Keep plants frost free, and only plant out when danger of frost has passed.
- Begonias do well in the morning sun and prefer to cool off in the afternoon, so keep them where they can keep out of the midday sun.
- Keep them moist, but don't saturate the soil, as the stems and roots can rot.
- Feed often, especially after planting up. Weekly feedings are ideal and will encourage bigger, brighter blooms.
- Dead head often to encourage more flowers and reduce the risk of rot. Remove dead foliage too in order to encourage new growth.
- Don't overcrowd plants and provide good airflow. 6-8 inches between plantings is ideal.
