Seedville Begonia Semperflorens

Pelleted seeds are coated in a clay-based material to make them larger and more uniform in shape. This makes them significantly easier to handle, see, and space out accurately during sowing compared to tiny, dust-like raw begonia seeds.

No, these wax begonias are specifically bred to thrive in partial to full shade. Planting them in direct, intense sunlight will likely scorch the foliage and hinder their blooming potential.

No, these are annuals. They will provide continuous color from spring through fall, but they will not survive the winter outdoors in most climates and will need to be replanted the following season.

You can do either, but starting them indoors several weeks before your last frost date is recommended to get a head start on the growing season. If you prefer to sow directly outdoors, wait until all danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed up.

You should space these plants 9 to 12 inches apart. This allows for proper air circulation and gives them enough room to reach their mature height of 8 to 12 inches without overcrowding.
