Will My Begonias Come Back Next Year?

Question

Not sure if my begonias are tuberous- I bought them from the local garden centre and they are now past their best. Do I remove them or wait to see what happens next year. They are bright red, orange and yellow. If they’re not tuberous will they survive until next year?

Answer 1

Most begonias can't survive cold weather, and Liverpool can experience a freeze some years. You need to overwinter any begonias you want to keep.

If you only anticipate a few days of below freezing weather, you can leave them outside and cover them well when inclement weather is predicted.
