National Garden Bureau:

US: 2016 is The Year of the...

At the start of each new year, the National Garden Bureau, a non-profit organization dedicated to educating and motivating the public to increase use of plants in homes, gardens and the workplace, selects an annual, perennial, bulb and edible to showcase in “The Year of the…” series. The plant selections must match these four criteria: easy for anyone to grow and to propagate, adaptable and durable in a variety of growing conditions, genetically diverse, and serve multiple purposes in the landscape.

Begonias are annuals valued for their shade tolerance, long-bloom time, attractive foliage and flowers, and adaptability to indoor and outdoor conditions.

Propagation is by seed, cuttings, and division. Start seeds indoors in January in 70-75°F temperatures by sprinkling seed on the soil surface. Do not cover seeds with soil. Cover with plastic or glass to keep moist. Expect sprouts in 14-21 days.
