Description
Begonias are one of the most stunning additions to the shade garden. Begonias love growing and blooming in the shade, unlike most other flowering plants. Expect to enjoy blooms summer to frost! Van Zyverden’s Begonia Pendula Yellow is a cascading variety ideally planted in hanging baskets hung on decks, patios or suspended from the branches of a tree. Jumpstart begonias indoors in pots or flats in January. Fill the container with damp peat moss evenly leveled to the top. Press tubers into the damp peat but do not cover. Begonia tubers will rot if they become wet and cold. Keep pots in a warm place day and night (60-65F) and keep the peat moss moist. In the spring after all danger of frost has passed and the plants are around 3 inch high they can be transplanted outdoors into a shady area of the garden.
