Begonia Seeds
These hugely popular half-hardy perennials are among the most versatile and easy-to-grow flower seeds available. Come rain or shine, they will flower throughout the whole of summer with an abundance of perfectly formed blooms.
With begonia seeds that flower in a range of beautiful colours and eye-catching forms, these flower plants never fail to stand out amongst others, creating some of summer's most spectacular displays in beds, borders, and patio containers. Begonia seeds can be grown as a half-hardy annual or overwintered indoors, in a conservatory, or in other frost-free locations.

Grow Your Own Begonia from Seeds
Brighten up your garden with colourful begonia plants! These easy to grow flowers are known for their stunning displays, blooming in a selection of beautiful colours. Not only are they a gorgeous addition to your garden, but they’re the perfect flower for beginners to grow. Once established, begonia seeds tend to grow very quickly too - so you can enjoy seeing results in no time!
You should sow your begonia seeds sometime between January and March, ensuring they remain on the surface of your soil - they require plenty of light to germinate! Be sure to keep the soil nice and moist, but don’t overdo it to the point of waterlogging.
