Are Begonias Easy to Grow?
Yes, begonias are a favorite for new and experienced gardeners because they don’t need much to thrive.
With the right soil, light, and water, these annual flowers grow quickly and bloom for months.
They're also easy to care for during the season. You just have to keep their soil lightly moist, remove faded blooms, and protect them from extreme sun or cold. That’s it. Low effort, high reward.
Do Begonias Like Full Sun or Shade?
Most begonias prefer partial shade to full shade. Too much direct sunlight can scorch their leaves, so it’s best to plant them where they get morning light and afternoon shade.
This makes them ideal for shaded patios, porches, or garden beds under trees. If you want to fill your garden with several shade-loving plants, try begonias companions: hellebore, clematis, and pansy.
Do Begonias Do Better in Pots or in the Ground?
Begonias are versatile and grow beautifully in both containers and garden beds, making them perfect for gardeners across a variety of climates.
If you live in a cooler region (USDA Zones 3–9), growing begonias in pots allows you to bring them indoors during colder months and protect them from frost. Containers also give you more control over soil quality and moisture.
In warmer climates (Zones 10–11), begonias can thrive year-round outdoors, where they’ll spread out and display their full color potential. Whether you prefer them on your porch, in hanging baskets, or lining a garden path, begonias adapt easily to your space.
What is the Lifespan of a Begonia?
Most begonias are grown as annuals, but in warm climates (zones 10–11), they can survive year-round as perennials.
With proper care, container begonias can also be brought indoors to bloom for several seasons.
5 Steps to Plant Begonia Seeds
Planting begonias from seed is an easy and budget-friendly way to fill your garden with colorful blooms. While they take a little patience early on, starting them indoors gives you a head start on the growing season, especially in cooler regions.
Follow these simple steps to grow healthy, thriving begonias from seed:
-
Start seeds indoors 8–12 weeks before your last frost date.
-
Use a seed-starting mix and gently press seeds onto the surface (they need light to germinate).
-
Keep the soil moist and warm—around 70°F works best.
-
Once sprouts appear, move them to a bright area or under grow lights.
-
Transplant outside after frost, spacing them about 6–12 inches apart.
