Begonia’s, sooo pretty !! They love a shady place in your garden, in a pot or in full soil. However you can keep them in a sunny spot too but then they need a lot of water.
They are bulb plants and not frost hardy so in Autumn before the frost begins you take the plant inside and keep it cool but frost free or you harvest the bulbs. To harvest the bulbs you get the plant out of the pot (or soil), remove as much of the soil as you can, put it in a garage on a newspaper and let the leafs go yellow and dry, then cut the leafs off, then put the bulbs in a newspaper, one by one and put them in a cardboard box. In Spring you give the bulbs a new pot and fresh soil and keep them light but frost free before putting them in your garden after the frost is gone. The bulbs can reach a very old age.
Are they not pretty as a picture ???They bloom for a very long time.

I have purple begonias! I don’t do all that – just let them die off and keep them in a cool, dry, dark place (the furnace room, in my case). In February or March bring them upstairs and start watering. Every couple of years I dig then up and repot.
Just thought I’d share…I have no idea how old they are, but they’ve been around ever since I can remember and I’m 42!
Thanks for sharing!

I put them in my greenhouse, the one’s that grow in a pot, others I keep in newspapers and a box in the attic, that’s cos I like to experiment 😀
