Begonias
in garden tubs can be quite spectacular with their large flowers in a
wide range of colour
and very easy to grow.
I
have had excellent results with the non stop tuberous begonias which are
shorter than the taller standard varieties.
Dormant begonia tubers are started into growth in March with a bit of
warmth and moist compost.
Once shoots appear they need light conditions to remain sturdy and are
ready for hardening off in May.
Tubers can last a very long time, (mine are 15 years old), and can be
divided by cutting tubers with
shoots in March to April.
