Begonia tubers not growing

I potted up some begonia tubers in compost and lightly covered them in soil in the middle of April. Then I put them in my greenhouse and when there was no sign of any growth, moved them into the house. I have been waiting patiently for them by Jandmac

Plant for tub under carport - light but no sun

begonias grow in shade. If green then hostas, Brunnera Jack Frost; if purple, I have a heuchera Plum Pudding in a pot in shade, perhaps other varieties of heuchera as well. Hosta would be a good idea, and I could keep an eye out for slugs !! I will have by Mari Williams

Bizzie/Busy Lizzies!

What alternatives are people going to be growing this year, especially after the collapse of impatiens due to the new virus? Are New Gunea Impatiens affected? Personally, I'm not keen on them. Having worked in a garden centre for many years by lilwead

Begonia tubers

I thought I had purchased plug plants but they are bulbs. The last time I order Begonia tubers less than half germinated. The instructions say to plant in shallow boxes containing a mixture of loam/ leaf mould/sand. Can I buy a mixture like this by lindapalmara

Plants or flowers from seed

about fuschias? I don't mind just some colour as I walk through. I do grow cosmos so as you've mentioned them I'm thinking those with busy lizzies , I like the idea of begonias too and love violas . I haven't had much luck with fuchsia in the past maybe by bunnysgarden
