Begonia Double Yellow Question.
Hi,
I have just been given half a dozen Begonia Double Yellow bulbs or tubers (not sure which). Anyway, the instructions were not very helpful.
I have placed them in clay pots 5cm down as instructed on packet. I don't actually know where to position them, should they be in sun until they grow shoots or should they be in shade?
I am not sure if they are shade or sun lovers once growing either. I am a bit confused as there seem to be Begonias that are for shade and some that like the sun.
Its the first time I have tried to grow Begonias so have no clue.
Any advice greatfully received!
Thanks
Kim

Iv'e had good results in a west facing spot that's shaded in the morning and sunny in the afternoon.A neighbour gets fantastic displays in pots by an east facing wall. I start mine off sitting on top of the compost on the windowsill in the conservatory and plant them into tubs when they have got going well.
