Begonias gain the auspicious distinction of being Holm Town Nursery’s February pick for Plant of the Month.  Enjoy a 20% discount all month!

Begonias are usually thought of as a summer-growing shade-loving flowering plant grown from a bulb.  That is just a sampling of the wonderful that a Begonia can be.  Take a look at the photographs on this page of the broad variety of Begonias that exist that make excellent houseplants.  What do they require to do well here in the cold North?  They need a nice bright window in the winter, augmented with full-spectrum fluorescent or incandescent light, light watering and mild fertilizer throughout the winter.  Once summer hits, move them away from the window, or at least ensure they do not get direct sunlight, and fertilize them more heavily.  Enjoy them for years to come and look into taking cuttings to share them with your friends.  Come see our excellent selection here at Holm Town and enjoy a 20% discount on Begonias throughout the month of February.
