Know before you buy
These begonias are hardy in zones 9-11. If you live in a colder climate, you can grow them in containers and bring them indoors before the first frost, or treat them as annuals.
They thrive in partial sun to partial shade. If you are growing them indoors, place them in a spot with bright, indirect light to ensure the best bloom production.
Plant the tubers shallowly, about 0.5 inches deep. Ensure the concave side—where the sprouts emerge—is facing upward.
Space your tubers 10 to 12 inches apart. This allows enough airflow for the foliage to remain healthy as the plants reach their mature spread of 12 inches.
These plants require a moderate amount of water. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, as excess standing water can cause the tubers to rot.
Once planted in the spring, you can expect these begonias to bloom from mid-summer through the first frost of autumn.
