Tuberous Begonias - There are many
varieties of tuberous begonias and are available in a variety of colors. Some
varieties are great for hanging baskets while others do well in containers or
in the garden. After danger of frost(especially in colder areas), plant tubers
concave side up with their tops slightly above soil level. They prefer a
semi-shady location, being protected from the hot afternoon sun. The soil
should stay moist, and in dry areas they may need to be misted to raise
humidity. A regular monthly fertilizing program with a liquid fertilizer during
the spring and summer months is important for best results. In the fall, store
bulbs in a cool dry location or leave them in the pots. Below are some of the
varieties of tubuerous begonias that are available:

double flowering blooms and a real dwarf growing habit, making it wind
resistant. They start flowering very early, flower buds actually appear with
the first leaves. They bloom from June until frost. They are excellent for
window boxes, patios, and low borders. Height 8-12". -
