Do you let Begonias die back before lifting the corms for winter please

Hi

If in pots you turn on the side and let them start to dry out when the foliage falls off , take them out the pot and clean any soil away , if you can ripen the tubers on a window sill for a couple of weeks, then you can pack away in some dry compost but keep them cool and frost free over winter ...

If in the border soil just dig them up and dry them off dont pull the stems away from the tuber as I said let them drop off

Hope this helps
