Hi girls, I have a question, I bought a few very pretty begonias yesterday in pots & was wondering if they can be transplanted outside in spring? Are there any specific instructions?? I have had them indoors before but when they went dorment, I did nothing w/them. Any suggestions??

begonias grow very well here in Texas. I would wait till you freeze time is over and put them directly in the ground. here they grow in the sun or shade. i have never had any luck with them indoors. I especially like the large/fuzzy leafed ones. |

I love begonias and put them in a large bed outside my kitchen patio doors every spring. They do beautifully there and put on a long summer show. Kay is right about hardening your plants off before you transplant them outside. I fertilize mine a little bit every few weeks, providing it's not too hot or dry. A good layer of mulch will keep them happy all summer long.

I personally wait to put them out until I KNOW it wont frost anymore because begonias take frost very badly. We get them every year because they are Grace's favorite. I had a really nice set of them last year and I put them out just a tad early and 3 or 4 plants died. I would keep them in the pots and put them out in the day but take them in before the sun sets. That's jus tme though.

Yes you can put them outside in the spring. Just remember to harden them off first. And they like partial shade.
