Know before you buy
No, these seeds require light to germinate and should not be covered. Simply press them firmly into the surface of your seed-starting mix.
Since these begonias reach a spread of 16 to 24 inches, you should space them at least 18 to 20 inches apart to ensure proper airflow and room for the plants to mature.
Yes, this variety is self-cleaning, meaning you do not need to deadhead the spent blooms. The plant will continue to produce fresh flowers throughout the season without manual intervention.
While they are engineered for excellent heat and drought tolerance, they perform best in partial shade to filtered light. They are quite resilient, but avoid placing them in harsh, direct midday sun.
Pelleted seeds are coated in a clay-based material to make them larger and more uniform in shape. This makes them much easier to handle and sow accurately compared to tiny, dust-like raw begonia seeds.
Under optimal conditions with a soil temperature between 70 and 75°F, you can expect germination to occur within 7 to 10 days.
