Plant details
For many years winter-flowering begonias such as 'Gloire de Lorraine' were grown as greenhouse potplants for blooms at Christmas they needed careful temperature and ventilation control, and were propagated by cuttings. 'Love Me' was the first seed-raised winter variety, which can also be multiplied from cuttings, and makes an attractive bushy plant for winter decoration indoors in temperatures above 13 °C (55 °F), but ideally less than 20 °C (68 °F) - above this, plants often stop flowering. Keep out of direct sunlight and avoid all draughts.
