Care & Planting Tips

• Placement: While many begonias prefer shade, the Senator iQ series is bred to handle more direct sunlight than green-leafed varieties.

• Soil: Plant in well-draining, rich soil. They prefer to stay evenly moist but cannot tolerate "wet feet" or standing water.

• Feeding: Use a balanced liquid fertilizer every 2–4 weeks to maintain peak flowering throughout the season.

• Versatility: Excellent for mass plantings in garden beds, as a "filler" in mixed containers, or as a stand-alone pop of color in hanging baskets.

Pro Tip: If you live in a cooler climate, you can bring these begonias indoors before the first frost to enjoy them as houseplants in a bright window over the winter.
