Camelia Begonia Seeds - Begonia Hybrida, 20 seeds

Quantity: 20 Seeds / pack

Camelia-flowered begonias are fibrous (wax) begonias (Begonia hybrids) that bear full, rose-like double blooms instead of the usual single flowers. They form neat, compact mounds of glossy foliage — ideal for edging, containers, hanging baskets, and shady borders.

Why choose our seeds?

• Full, camellia-like double blooms on compact plants
• Neat mounding habit for edging, pots, and baskets
• Long flowering season from early summer to frost

How to grow Camelia Begonia seeds

Choose Your Planting Method

• Indoors: Start seeds indoors 10–12 weeks before the last expected frost — begonias are slow starters.
• Outdoors: Transplant outdoors only after all danger of frost has passed; direct outdoor sowing is not reliable in cool climates.

Prepare Your Materials

• Seed-starting trays or pots
• Fine, well-draining seed-starting mix
• Humidity dome or plastic wrap (important for these tiny seeds)
• Spray bottle for misting

Sowing the Seeds

• Sow on the surface of moist mix and press in very gently — do NOT cover; begonia seeds need light to germinate.
• No pre-treatment needed, but keep the mix evenly moist at all times.

Provide the Right Conditions

• Light: Bright light; seeds need light to sprout.
• Temperature: 72–78°F (22–26°C) for germination.
• Humidity: Cover with a dome or plastic until germination; keep humidity high.

Germination

• Seedlings typically emerge in 10–21 days.
• After germination, grow in bright light (12 or more hours daily) with night temperatures above 60°F.

Transplanting

• Transplant when seedlings are large enough to handle and all frost danger has passed.
• Harden off for 7–10 days before planting out.
• Space plants 6–8 inches apart.

Care Tips

• Sun: Part shade to full sun; afternoon shade is appreciated in hot climates.
• Water: Keep soil evenly moist; do not let plants wilt or sit in water.
• Fertilizer: Feed every 2 weeks with half-strength balanced liquid fertilizer.
• No pinching needed — plants branch naturally into neat mounds.

Bloom Time:
