PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS
How to Plant Roseform Apricot Begonia Tubers
WHEN TO PLANT BEGONIAS
Plant Begonias in late Spring after threat of frost has passed. If starting indoors, Start about 8 weeks prior to transplant.
WHERE TO PLANT BEGONIAS
Plant in well-draining soil in partial to full sun.
HOW TO PLANT BEGONIAS
If you choose to start your Begonia tubers indoors, use a loose well-drained soil mix that drains well. The begonias like to be put in a temperature of about 64 degrees Fahrenheit, however, they do not seem to mind higher temperatures. After the tubers have sprouted and you can see small leaves, transfer the tubers to a five inch pot and cover them with compost. If you plan on using the begonias in an outdoor garden, begin getting your begonias acclimated to the temperature outdoors in stages. This process should probably begin towards the end of May. After a week, if the threat of frost has passed, you may leave your begonia plants outside all night. Transplant outdoors after the begonias have grown 4 or 5 inches. Mulch around the begonias with 2 inches of compost or wood chips.
If you start the tubers outside, the ground should be loose and well drained. It should be moist but not soggy. Do not plant them outside until all danger of frost is past. Place the tubers in the soil mix with the hollow side up. Make sure that the top of the tuber is level with the soil surface. Water lightly. Once the bulbs have started sprouting and growing, water enough to keep the soil moist. Begonias like a place that is moist and partially shaded. If they happen to be in the sun for most of the day, then you should water your begonias frequently in order to prevent bud drop.
Begonias should be planted 8-12 inches apart and just deep enough that the soil covers the top of the bulb.
HOW TO CARE FOR BEGONIAS
They do not require much care once established. Keep their soil moist but not soggy; the tubers will rot if they get too much water. Feed Begonias with a well-balanced plant food every 2 to 3 weeks. Deadhead all your Begonias regularly; removing wilted leaves and flowers encourages them to produce more blooms.
Properly stored, tuberous Begonias will give you years of vibrant, eye-popping blooms to brighten up your shady garden areas. So get your tubers started this spring for a show- stopping summer!
Cultivating flowers is not just about planting seeds; it's a harmonious dance with nature, where attention to detail transforms a garden into a canvas of beauty. Here are some essential tips to nurture your floral dreams.
Soil Quality
Choose well-draining soil for flowers. Poor drainage can lead to root rot. Add organic matter like compost to improve soil structure and fertility. Test soil pH to ensure it matches your flowers' needs. Most flowers thrive in slightly acidic to neutral soil (pH 6.0–7.0).
Sunlight Requirements
Understand your flowers' sunlight needs. Most flowering plants require at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily. Some, like impatiens, prefer partial shade. Observe your garden's light conditions and place flowers accordingly to ensure healthy blooms.
Watering Tips
Water flowers deeply but less frequently to encourage strong root growth. Avoid overhead watering, as it can cause fungal diseases. Water early in the morning so leaves dry quickly. Monitor soil moisture and adjust watering based on weather and plant needs.
Pest Control
Keep an eye out for pests like aphids and caterpillars. Use natural methods such as introducing beneficial insects or applying neem oil. Regularly inspect plants for signs of damage. Remove infected leaves to prevent the spread of disease and maintain a healthy garden environment.

Beautiful mix of wild flowers!
Planted these seeds early spring this year in Washington state. It was good timing bc i did not need to water since it rained about every day. This is how the flowers looked just today and more are coming. Can’t wait to see these come back every year!

Beautiful flowers!
I just love these flowers and ordered many different varieties. They have all come up as pictured and I am so pleased! It was my first time showing outside from seed. I spread them out and covered lightly with dirt. I can’t wait to order some new varieties! They were so easy to grow!
