How to Grow Gryphon Begonia from Seed
For best results, start seeds indoors 10–12 weeks before your last expected frost. Since begonia seeds need light to germinate, do not cover them with soil. Sow them on the surface of a moist, sterile seed-starting mix and mist gently. Keep at 70–75°F with consistent humidity and light. Germination typically takes 10–14 days.
Once seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant them into individual pots. Gradually harden off before planting outdoors in part shade. Gryphon Begonia grows about 14–18 inches tall and can spread up to 24 inches wide, making it an ideal filler or foliage focal point.
