Hi! If I order some Begonia corms now, will they be all right until I plant them in February? How should I store them? Or do you take the order but not deliver until nearer the time?
Thank you!

Planting begonias

This question was asked by
Linda Davey

I have just received some begonia tubers from you. Can you advise me what you recommend to plant these in pots

Hi Linda
Double Begonia Tubers are ideal for containers, pots or tubs.
Begonias like a well-drained but moist compost in a sunny position. We advise planting 3 x tubers into an average hanging basket or pot.
Position the Begonia tubers just below the compost surface with the ‘hole’ of the tuber facing up approx 2.5cm deep.
Space your tubers about 2cm apart.
Feed and water Begonia plants frequently throughout the growing season. Take care not to over water.
Deadhead faded flower heads regularly, this will encourage new growth for longer.

Trailing begonias

This question was asked by
L. Giles

Hi, I would like to fill 10 x 14 inch hanging baskets with trailing begonias. How many tubers would you recommend per basket please?
When I know this, I can order from you.
Many thanks.

It can be difficult to judge how many bulbs to plant in a basket. I would suggest 5 begonia tubers for a hanging basket of 10×14″. Our Begonias are about 3-4″ in diameter so it will depend on the size of the tuber.
