The seed should be sown in heat at end of winter to produce strong flowering plants in the summer, in pans of very 
fine soil. Prick off the seedlings into pans and pot off later. Care should be used when sowing, as the seed is very fine. 
We can also supply tubers ready to start into growth in early spring. 
These Begonias are invaluable for growing in beds and groups; also for pot culture. They come into bloom very early, 
and last all the season.
