The ice begonias, which are very sensitive to frost, should only be planted outdoors after the ice saints. They can freeze to death even at temperatures around 0 °C. Patience pays off, however, as Ice Begonias bloom for many months.
Ice begonias should not be planted outside until mid-May
Plant ice begonia in the tub
If you want to plant ice begonia in a bucket or window box, you can do this almost during the entire growing season. You should only make sure that the newly planted ice begonias are carefully accustomed to the outside air and sunlight. If you plant before the ice saints, then the begonias are only allowed on the balcony during the day for the time being. They don't tolerate frost.
The essentials in brief:
- very sensitive to frost
- only plant in the garden after the ice saints
- Container planting possible during the entire vegetation period
