Overwintering begonias

11 years ago

I planted three picotee begonias this year and unfortunately it was too hot in my area for them to be successful. The all grew few inches and then eventually died off. I would like to dig them up and store them for next season. Do you think they would grow back next year in pots if they never grew much this year?

Depends on the condition of the tubers. If they are plump and healthy then they should be good for winter. They may be rotted or dried up though.

Check some other posts about storing tuberous begonias for winter dormancy. This certainly is not one I grow due to the region of the country I live in.
