Does anybody here cultivate them ? We have 2 planter boxes 1x1x3
feet with 3 nice plants in each . I read yesterday that they're
considered perennials , and I'd like to try to keep these alive ...
If I had somewhere inside to keep them I would , but there's just
not room here . I do have materials , and could build a hot box of
sorts on the SE or SW side of the house if moderating cold temps
will help . Just an acceleration of plans , I will be building
those hot boxes anyway for spring seedlings.
What kind of begonias are they? Makes a diff.

I'm not certain , but I think they're the waxy leaf kind . I can post a pic
on my photobucket site if that would help . The leaves are kind of reddish ,
flowers are pink , white , and red .
Easiest thing is try to find your type of begonia online, then do a
fast Google for "Over wintering XXX begonias."
I advise this as it was not more than a week ago I was looking for an
alternative or two form my tuberous begonias which have been so
gorgeous this year.
