Bulbs 
TUBEROUS BEGONIAS 
One of the most beautiful of all summer bedding 
plants. Tuberous Begonias are at their best in a 
partially shaded location and they like moist, well 
mulched soil. Peat Moss is ideal to cover the soil 
around the plants. It holds the moisture and keeps 
the soil cool. The bulbs should not be set outdoors 
until all danger of frost is past, the end of May or 
early June. 
In order to enjoy the flowers for a long season 
start the bulbs indoors in March or early April. 
You can use pots or flats, just so they can be lifted 
without disturbing the roots excessively. Small 
waterproof paper pots are excellent for starting.
