How to prune begonia 'nonstop rose petticoat'

Tip-pinch at planting in spring; remove damaged growth as needed; cut back to tuber in autumn. Pinch stem tips once in early spring. Clear away yellowing or damaged leaves throughout summer. In autumn, once top growth dies back naturally, cut stems to the base and lift or dry tubers in frost-prone areas.

Minimal mid-season pruning; annual autumn cut-back once per year. Like other Nonstop tuberous begonias, 'Rose Petticoat' has self-cleaning double blooms that largely drop on their own. Light tip-pinching at planting out encourages a fuller plant. Remove any yellow or damaged leaves during the season. Cut all growth back to the tuber each autumn for winter dormancy storage.
