Sowing instructions

Sow seeds on the surface of moist free draining compost and press gently into place without covering, as begonia seeds need light to germinate. Maintain steady warmth and keep the compost evenly moist until seedlings appear. Transplant young plants into individual pots when large enough to handle. Harden off gradually and plant out after the last frost.

 

Grow and maintenance

Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist and feed every two weeks during the flowering season. Remove spent blooms to encourage continuous production. Provide shelter from strong winds and avoid overwatering in cool conditions. Begonias thrive in bright but sheltered positions and reward consistent care with abundant flowers.
