Begonia, Wax (A)
Begonia x semperflorens
Annual.
Start seed 12-16 weeks before planting out. Sow seed on the surface of lightly firmed, moist seed sowing mix. Cover to keep humid and provide bottom heat until seeds germinate. Germination can be erratic and take anywhere form 15-60 days. After sowing, do not exclude light as this helps germination. Keep the surface of the sowing mix moist but not waterlogged.
Transplant after last frost date in rich, light, well-drained soil in full sun to full shade. Once established allow plants to become somewhat dry between watering and fertilize once a month. Grows 8-10” tall and 6-8” wide.
