Begonia

Nonstop tuberous begonia. They can be stored over winter like dahlia tubors.

Beautiful colour Bathgate and looks so healthy. I put tuberous begonia tubers in most of my hanging baskets this year. They're just coming through so hopefully when the other things are going over they'll be flowering. Well that's the plan!

Thank you and your baskets sound nice. What colors do you have? A sprinkle of slow release fertilizer helps a little and those slug pellets.

I put slow release pellets and water retaining gel in but have never put slug pellets in Bathgate, and never had a problem. Maybe they'd get vertigo if they had climb that high. I really shouldn't tempt fate so I'll keep a lookout now.
I have lots of different colours, red, orange yellow, white and small and large flowers. Some tubers I've had for years, just overwinter in the greenhouse.

This is my first year growing begonias. No problems to speak of. I just trim off some leaves that hide the flowers. We had a warm tropical rain this morning, now the sun is out & everything is looking fantastic. It's nice to chat with you. thanks
