Wintering begonia

Posted by katydid0022 5 (My Page) on

I live in an area of Zone 5 so my begonias will die if I leave them out for the winter. Just wondering if anyone can tell me how I can overwinter the tubers and when do I dig them up. We have not had a frost yet but we're suppose to have our first frost this week.
I use to just buy new begonias every year but I'm thinking ahead and would like to save money in the spring and just replant the ones I have already. This is my first time over wintering tubers.

RE: Wintering begonia

I have two dragon wing begonias in hanging pots that I kept over the past winter by placing them inside by the patio door for light. They are now quite large and I would like to know if I should cut them back, and also if there is another way I can overwinter them because I really don't like having them on the family room floor all winter. Any suggestions?
