Failed growth.
Verified Buyer
Half the begonias didn't grow
Definitely will buy again.
Verified Buyer
Basket full of these, so showy
Very disappointing and replacements were worse :-(
I was very excited when my Scarlet Begonia tubers arrived, they were HUGE like 4-5" across and very firm and well-packed in fresh peat in the bags. I planted them in hanging baskets with very well-draining garden topsoil 1/3 mixed with my favorite mulch of cow manure mulch 1/3 and cocoa bean shell mulch 1/3. The ones that sprouted and flourished were awesome, but that was only about half of them. Customer service was very good and sent replacements for the ones that didn't grow, but when the replacements arrived they were tiny (6cm) and dry and hard as a rock and didn't even sprout. Plus the ones that grew the year before didn't grow when I replanted them after winter in my basement. Now I have thirty baskets and nothing to plant in them this year :-(
Don't waste your money buying these bulbs.
Verified Buyer
The bulbs sprouted in May, but two months later in July, they were dead. When I dug the bulbs for storage, they were mush.

Beautiful flower...better luck next time
Verified Buyer
I had planted 2 baskets with 3 bulbs each and only 1 basket flourished and bloomed nicely. The other one never really took off. All feeding and watering were the same. I had also planted in ground at 5 different locations in well-drained, mostly shady soil. Only 1 grew and bloomed, but the others never got more than a few inches in height. I will need to get the bulbs out and see how next year goes.

on the double hanging begonias. do I seperate the bulb cluster when i plant in a container . for instance, if I buy a bag with 5 in itm will it plant 5 pots? or does the desinty need to be more for a full basket
- Asked by richard
- Verified Reply - AngelaYou can plant more than one Begonia bulb in a container. Just make sure they aren't touching one another. You can plant two or three bulbs in a 12 inch diameter pot.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
Can this plant be used as a house plant? If so, how does it's care needs change. Would it need a simulated "winter" rest period?
- Asked by Flower Puff
- Verified Reply - AngelaThis is a tuberous Begonia and not well suited to indoor growing. Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
How long is it supposed to take for these to come up? We bought 10 bulbs. Planted about 4 weeks ago. We have 2 little grass-like shoots which came up within a week or so. Have not grown any more.
- Asked by Linda
- Verified Reply - ViciBegonia tubers take 6-8 weeks from planting to sprout. Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
Is this a perennial?
- Asked by Barb
- Verified Reply - ViciThis is a tender bulb that needs to be dug up and stored for the winter in a cool dry place.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
How many bulbs do you put in one hanging basket typically? 2 or 3 or does it take all five to make it look full?
- Asked by Suebee
- Verified Reply - KimberlyThree in each hanging basket should be sufficient for good coverage. Take care to plant them a few inches back from the edge (even though you'll eventually want them to spill over) as the plant can get very top-heavy and will be better supported if halfway between the edge and the center of the pot. Be patient, they'll look puny when they first emerge, but they grow quickly when happy.Was this answer helpful to you
