Hardy Tropicals UK

Does anyone grow this can it be over wintered

Hi i had these in my wall hangers i just treat them as annuals .

Begonia corms can be dried and stored frost free.

as Kata said

Mine were not bonfire but I wanted to save two,

A hanging basket brilliant orange and a deep red which was in a tub but the way it grew droopy a hanging basket next season.

I just put them in the shed, in a day or two shake the soil and store in newspaper.

That is a nice plant Leigh.

But which is it?

I don't know what she is saying I am waiting for the comp guy to fit me a new sound card this evening.

Yeah mine were the first pic Kata, might have a go at storing nothing to lose.

Same as you BB Bibb i had these in a hanging basket

Once dry Leigh,

If worst comes to the worst you can store in a container in your house in the dark. Try to save cus they just get better each year. Keep looking and checking them for mould, then watch in spring for tiny red shoots, thats when to bring to the light.

I never had a Dahlia as big as mine were this year. I bought two out cheap bin at Homebase..brilliant size so I am leaving mine in the pot with cover.

I want some more next season. I say next season cus next year sounds yonks away..lmaooooooooooo
