Begonia 'Candy Kisses'

that is simply beautiful

I got the corms with a mail order...as a freeby! I have some more different ones which are just in bud!

very nice freeby :-)

They didn't all succeed, Eileen. :-(

The ones that did are lovely.

I have them in terracotta pots, so I can rescue them for next year (I hope!)

Good idea.

I have absolutely no idea how to keep them over the winter! I shall be asking questions on GOY!! HELP!!

I'm no expert but I did manage to keep the tubers in some dry peat put into a deep box. Maybe I was just lucky but I've stored dahlia tubers the same way for many years.

Sounds OK - except that I haven't got any peat - what's the alternative these days, do you know?

I must admit that last year I used dry garden compost and I've seen corms of different plants stored in dry wood shaving and even straw so one of these may be worth a try. I think the main thing is to keep them dry and frost free. Might be worth checking on them every now and again to make sure none have started to rot.

Wood shavings - yes, I have some of those. Good thinking!

That is gorgeous Spritz, I weathered some the other year in the shavings I buy for my Guinea Pigs and they all came through, mind you, there were only 6..............

Thats a beauty,I,m still waiting for mine to flower Spritz,not sure what colours I`ll have because some were also freebies,my originals I leave in their pots through the winter under the staging,allow them to dry out and repot the next year,it seems to work for me......

OK - good thinking!
