FAQs

• When is the best time to plant Begonia plug plants?
  The best time is after the last frost—usually late May or early June. You can start plugs indoors earlier if desired.
• How do I care for Begonias in containers?
  Use good-quality compost, water consistently, and feed fortnightly with a balanced fertiliser. Place containers where they receive morning sun or dappled light.
• Will these Begonias survive winter?
