How to overwinter begonias?
They look so pretty, I hate to leave them for winter kill. I overwintered them once before -10 yrs ago, but forgot how I did it. Do I pot them & put in sunny window or store in basement? Store I hope!
Right now I have Easter lily & hyacynth in fridge crisper to flower this winter & spring, & my amaryllis (4th yr) is ready to go in dry peat in basement (to sleep) for a Dec/January bloom. It'll be nice to have these bloom again next summer. Thanks!

Thanks Pauly, I'll find out if they have a tuber in a week or so.
