Propogate begonias and mums from cuttings? I have both in the yard growing beautifully and would like to expand my collection. The begonias are and F1 hybrid - and they came back from last year - which suprised me - and in the same color. I'm wondering if this will hold - or if they will revert back to parent types? Also - while I'm asking - where are the seeds on these two kinds of flowers?

Thanks

swoznick

Hi Suzy, I cut pieces of my mums all the time and just stick them in the ground by the parent and keep them watered. They root quite easily. Can't help with the begonias.

Badseed: do you think that would work with the annual mums, as well?

I have found that most Begonias root easily in water.

Don't know CC - I really think you need the bulbs for them, but you could try.

you can sometimes root the tuberous begonias in perlite or vermiculite.
