Hello! A friend of mine has begonias (not sure what kind) that are planted in her yard. She lives near Boston and is worried about what to do with them for the fall and winter? Does anyone know?

Thank you!

It depends upon which begonias your friend planted and what zone she lives in. Some are hardy to zone 6 while others can barely survive in zone 11.

If she really doesn't know what they are, her begonias can be transplanted to pots and taken in.

Begonia grandis is the only one I know that could possibly be hardy there. Did your friend put them in the ground herself?

More verbal info &/or pics would be helpful to figuring out what kind of Begonia. There are MANY, and they are surprisingly diverse in their tolerances/preferences. Some plants called Begonia are from another genus entirely.
