PETITTI Begonia Spotlight | Grow for Shade, Deer Resistance, & Pollinators

This enormous family of flowering and foliage plants adds interest to shady spaces in the landscape and performs wonderfully in containers, too. Watch this video with Noelle, Horticulturist, and Education Manager with Petitti Garden Centers, to learn more about the different types of begonias and how to care for them. Bonus, you can bring many of these varieties indoors and treat them as a houseplant through the winter months!

Thank you, wonderful video, very informative. Exactly what I was looking for. Have a couple of hanging begonias outside this year, first time, going to try bringing them in for the winter as house plants. Have an angel wing which needs some tlc. Your video will help with that. Watching from Ontario, Canada.

Hi Noelle. That explains why most of my begonias died last summer. I was watering them too often. I didn’t realize their soil shouldn’t be kept too wet. I need to get my hands on dragon Wings. They are lovely. Thank you.

Noelle: Good morning, and thank you for your expertise on growing begonia's. Will look for bolivencess to hang outside as they attract hummingbirds. Called Petitti's Garden Center and they do not ship their plants out of state otherwise I would order from you! Anyway, have a nice day & thanks again!

Thanks for sharing this helpful information with us, we are in Northern Florida very hot summer and hard freez in winter
I love begonias, but they don’t survive, any suggestions to keep them in door, or out door in winter, how I could keep them alive and healthy.

Will Begonia grow in orchid pots or wick pots ? Maybe clay or plastic ? Or does it depend on where you grow it inside or outside ? Good presentation .

Thanks. Are the Nonstop and the front ones tolerant of direct afternoon sun for a couple of hours in the South? I have one Nonstop white that I planted this spring in a screened porch that faces east, and it hasn't really grown much in the last month, so I was thinking of moving it outside.

When deadheading begonias, is it best to pinch back to base if stem or just behind flower to first set of leaves?

Heimalis begonia yellow basket how to trim and care for.

[chrismarchetti-olson]

Can you propagate all of the ones you showed by leaf cutting?

[martinaharrisondefault]

Which ones are the trailing rose looking type called?

Најгоре је то што је главно цвеће а не приче власника или продавца зато смо сви одустали од гледања оваквих канала, успут живимо у србији и не говоримо енглески!!??
