Wax begonias?

my wax bergonia have been hit by frost can I save them?/

Wax begonias?
You must be in a southern region to have even thought of planting Wax Begonias so soon. Regardless, you picked the right plant. Pinch or with a razor remove any leaves that look to be limp or damaged by the frost.


Fertilize the plantings ONLY after the threat of frost has passed. Begonias don't need much but it will help in the recovery of the plant. Since I do not know your region and snow and ice prevail north of the Mason-Dixon Line I assume you are somewhat south of that. Plant any/anual flowers after easter south of that line/ north of it plant them around Mother's Day.


Fortunate for you the wax begonia is a hardy plant. Should you have a frost warning in the future simply cover the plants with a bed blanket. Remove it immediately in the early morning regardless of the frost on the turf area. Hope it helps. Good Luck.
