Nonstop® Yellow Begonia Care

This easy to care for annual is heat tolerant, has average moisture requirements, and blooms continuously without deadheading. Begonias are susceptible to powdery mildew. Do not crowd this plant. It needs good air circulation to reduce the chance of becoming infected. Remove and destroy any plant when patches of powdery growth appear on the upper side of the leaves to prevent further infection. Other powdery mildew prevention techniques include avoiding overhead watering when the humidity level is high and not applying nitrogen fertilizer in late summer.

Begonia Nonstop Yellow is hardy in USDA planting zones 10 and 11. This plant may survive indoors as a houseplant due to its low light requirements. If you live in a colder region, you can save the tubers for replanting in the spring. Cut back the foliage and dig up the tubers before they are killed by frost. Wash them off, let them dry, and then store them in newspaper or peat moss in a cool (35 to 45 degrees F), dark location over the winter.

Nonstop® Yellow Begonia Spacing

Space plants 12 to 16 inches apart in your garden. They may be spaced slightly closer in a container but do not pack them. They need good air circulation to lessen the chance of becoming infected with powdery mildew.
