Description

Wax Begonia (Begonia x semperflorens-cultorum) can be grown from seed for garden borders and beds. Choose partial shade and fertile soil that stays moist without becoming waterlogged to support healthy establishment and early growth.

Sow at the recommended depth, and keep the growing medium within the recommended germination range. Keep the soil evenly moist during early growth, then remove spent flowers as needed to keep the planting tidy.
