Do All Begonias Have Corms

What is the difference between wax and tuberous begonias?

Wax begonias can tolerate more sun than other types, and the ones with bronze-colored leaves are the most sun-tolerant of all. Tuberous begonias prefer more shade and less heat, so we often see them on display in late summer. … Begonias are great for containers because they love the light texture of potting mix.

Are begonias tubers or bulbs?

Tuberous begonias produce beautiful rose-like flowers in a variety of colors. They are started from tubers, which many refer to as bulbs, and should be planted in early spring. Gardeners love begonias because unlike most other flowering plants, they prefer shade over sun.
