5 HARDY BEGONIAS you should be growing

🪴JOIN our FREE community forum: www.growparadi...
Begonias grow in forests and jungles in many parts of the world, from low lying rainforests in the tropics to the mountainous regions of Asia. This video shares my list of 5 hardy Begonia plants that you should be growing. Hardy Begonias look fantastic in tropical gardens, and they are a great idea for gardens with difficult shady spots. These hardy shade loving plants thrive where so many other plants would struggle. Hardy Begonias produce lush green leaves throughout spring and summer, with many hardy Begonias producing delicate flowers in late summer.
In a tropical style garden hardy Begonias are a great way to add more jungly foliage to your garden design.

I bloody love begonias and they do really well in my full shade jungle!!!! ❤❤❤

[@theangrygardener]

This is amazing! Recently bunkers for begonias and found you searching for hardy types to add to my yard!

[@robertlundstrom8061]

Wow, your videos are getting very professional looking with great composition and editing. Thanks for putting the name of the plants in the video!! Now, could you please remove your glasses for the filming?

[@zaiaisho6409]

As soon as the camera panned to the orange I thought Begonia sutherlandii? Sure enough you confirmed that it is! I want one, I had one once that I had ordered as bulbils that grew to about an inch and a half to two inches before the plant died on me, unfortunately. I hope to find one in Canada.

I always end up pausing Craig's videos then going on Grow Paradise to place an order for the plant he's discussing, or failing that Googling other sellers, which I don't want to do after he has gone to so much trouble to make the video. Who WOULDN'T want all five of these growing in their garden?

[@GrowParadise]

That’s so kind, thank you 😀 I do my best to try and offer as much as I can for sale to help you build your own patch of paradise.

[@bamboo782]

Thanks Craig another great video must get some of them.

[@lawfordbond]

Absolutely love the papaya one! Do they all die back to ground in winter and resurface in spring? And do they come back pretty quickly, or do you need to cloche them to get them going again?

[@juliebrown3405]

Would they grow under trees

[@GrowParadise]

Absolutely, so long as they got enough water 😀

[@Omlittlebuddha]

I love begonias, do you sell all that you mentioned in your shop?

[@jaxtreasures]

Can these begonias be happy as a container plant 🪴

[@GrowParadise]

Absolutely!

[@JB-lr1tf]

I brought 2 begonia grandis last summer and both of them died and didn't come back this year😕

[@GrowParadise]

That’s a shame, they benefit from having good drainage in wet months.

[@JB-lr1tf]

Theve came back took a while as hasn't been that warm this year. Definitely will get the last one mentioned thank you as always 😊

[@FloridaHiker619]

A hardy hybrid not mentioned is begonia "Kaylen"
