Cascading Begonias

What on Earth do I do with them??? They were a freebie with another order. I thought I'd use them in my pouches and baskets, do I pot the bulbs up until they grow and then put them into the pouches????How deep should I plant them? Cold frame or indoors?
Sorry, loads of questions again....I am the Question Queen!!!!! :D :rolleyes: :D

 

Hi, QQ windy!

I've had trailing begonias ... in England that is, don't do terribly well here!

If I remember right, you just plant them, corms just slightly showing, a bit like a Cyclamen .... I'm going to get it in the throat here I'm sure .... and put them in a handing basket, tub, pot, trough, whatever. What I remember, is not full sun and water well when shaded. Mine were LOVELY. That was in Bucks.

If you've got them now, depends on your temps, perhaps a bit sheltered for a month till they start shooting?

 

Thanks LoL Thay're not really my 'thing', but they were free and I thought they would be a good addition to my flower pouches, whose theme this year is 'O.T.T' :D :D

 

I don't know, but funnily enough I used that phrase earlier today and haven't for yonks ... I won't say years! Strange!

They are beautiful flowers though and I would DO them here if the conditions were right ... go for it, gal!
