How to Grow Begonias as Houseplants
The further you delve into the world of begonias, the more you realize just how versatile this genus can be.
Different types are standouts for mass plantings, cottage gardens, window boxes, and shady patios, or a go-to for Mother’s Day hanging baskets.
But if that’s as far as you’ve gone with Begonia Appreciation – the outdoor growing options – I’d like to invite you indoors.
Certain species will grow as perennials only in Zones 9 to 11 or 10 to 12, but they excel as year-round houseplants.

The worthy candidates for indoor growing include varieties that bloom indoors even in winter and plants from a couple of groups that produce dramatic, colorful foliage year-round.
As you might imagine, grown as houseplants, these varieties will need more care and attention than the typical outdoor hanging basket tossed at season’s end or the winter-hardy begonias that spread via bulbils each fall.
These indoor types don’t fend for themselves, but their lavish foliage, stately stems, and perhaps even clusters of blooms will pay back any extra effort.
Most importantly, these varieties can open up possibilities for folks who don’t have a garden bed or other outdoor space to grow ornamentals.
If you’re new to the idea of growing begonias inside, welcome! You have lots of fun options to look forward to.

Hardy Begonia (Begonia grandis): A Complete Grow Guide
Even when summer gardens wind down, the hardy begonia (Begonia grandis) is still going strong in most shade gardens where it’s planted. In fact, this herbaceous perennial generally blooms from about midsummer through October until the first frost. This long bloom time is just one of many reasons gardeners appreciate the hardy begonia so much. Because the hardy begonia thrives in part shade, it’s perfect as an understory plant. (That means you could include hardy begonias around the base of your trees and shrubs or even plant them in the shade of taller perennials next season.)
