A reader e-mailed me about a problem with his begonias, which he says are performing much more poorly than they have in previous years.
Here’s how he described the problem:
” The begonias were planted on Mother’s Day in rows 9 inches apart with 10-inch spacing
in the rows…With the exception of limited sunlight in the AM, they are shaded. Have planted begonias in this area for several years and within a couple of months, they have typically been very healthy-looking and taller than the ones shown in the attached pictures.”
Does anyone know what might be happening here?
