It’s Time to Start your Begonia Tubers
The days are getting longer and warmer so it is time plant them in a nice sunny window. Begonias grow from a root called a “tuber” and grow easily indoors until the late spring when they should be transplanted into your garden. We have everything you need to get them started including pots, soil, and fertilizer.
Begonias come in a variety of colours and sizes. We have over 40 varieties to choose from including single, double, and pendulous flowers. We have Belgian and American varieties including many Jumbo sized tubers.

The dormant spray kit contains Lime Sulphur and Horticultural Oil. The Lime sulphur helps to prevent the spread of fungal spores while the horticultural oil helps to kill the eggs of insects. The sulphur and oil can be combined and sprayed at the same time. You can use any type of sprayer including trigger sprayers, pressure sprayer, or tank sprayers.
Your Fruit Trees, Roses, and other ornamental shrubs can be sprayed on a clear day when the temperatures are above zero celcius.
