Winterizing begonias

Question

If I want to winterize begonias that are growing in wire baskets, do I cut back the leaves before moving them to a cool, dark, dry location?

Answer 1

Yes, but you will want to remove the soil and let them dry in the sun first. Then you can cut the dead foliage off. This article will tell you exactly what you need to know: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/foliage/holly-fern/growing-holly-fern-plants.htm
