When Can I Buy Begonias

From January until April tuberous begonias are available to buy as tubers. They are usually in packs and include a picture of the flowers plus information about the begonia. You may often see the first signs of the new shoots growing from the buds.

When can you buy begonia plants?

In March or April, you can buy begonia tubers at the garden centre or online. Plant the tubers into individual pots or into a seed tray, hollow side up. Plant 2.5cm deep and keep in a warm spot that is at least 18°C.

Is it too early to plant begonias?

WHEN TO PLANT: Tuberous begonias will not grow in cold soil. Plant them outdoors in late spring after the soil is warm and all danger of frost has passed. For earlier flowers, the tubers may be started indoors in pots, about 8 weeks before you expect to plant them outdoors.
