Mandalay begonias will be available in limited quantities this season so they will be difficult to find.

WOW! This plant has stood out among the rest in our weird Maine summer. Everyone who sees it there in its little pot (elevated a bit on an upturned pot) wants to know what it is. Folks up here in Maine aren't entirely familiar with these tropical begonias, and they are gaga for it. I've got tons of shade but this little begonia has bloomed non-stop with stop-'em-in-their-tracks color. L. Walther - Garden Writer

Growing Tips

Tuberous Begonias form tubers and these tubers can be stored for replanting in the spring. To dig and store tubers follow these directions. First, before frost kills the top of the plant, cut back the stems and dig the tubers. Wash off any soil and then allow the tubers to dry. Wrap dry tubers in newspapers or pack them in peat moss. Label each tuber or group of tubers so you know what they are come spring. Store the tubers in a dark, cool (35 to 45 F) place. Do not allow tubers to freeze.
