Similarly, it is asked, do begonias come back every year?

Like Impatiens, Begonias are actually tender perennials (come back year after year) that are usually treated as annuals (gone forever at first frost). In deep shade situations, Begonias will stretch and become leggy, so do give them a spot with at least a few hours of sunlight for the best results.

Furthermore, how do you keep begonias over the winter UK? Overwintering Begonias is easy:

1. Dig up the entire plant with foliage still attached before the hard frosts set in.
2. With a sharp knife, cut away any diseased parts of the tuber.
3. Leave it to dry in a frost-free and sunny place for 1 week.
4. Remove the foliage by gently teasing the stems from the tuber.

In respect to this, do you cut back begonias in the winter?

You should cut them back up to 1/3 of the plant after flowering. Throughout the year, prune your begonias to shape their growth. If you have winter-flowering begonias, cut them back in the spring after they have finished flowering.

Can I keep my begonias for next year?

There's no need to throw them away when cold weather hits and the tops die. The tubers can be saved over the winter and planted again the next spring for another year of showy color. Take the following steps to save your potted tuberous begonia tubers: Remove plant from pot before hard frosts occur.
