GO FOR IT! Start them NOW! What do you have to lose? Maybe you have a whole year (until bloom) to gain! Since they are perennial--the seedling should do fine. Being the cautious type, I would still keep them in a protected spot for the winter...(WHAT winter??)......

Did I ever give you a started, rooted plant of my Angel-Wing Begonia? I think you mentioned once that I did.
Here is mine this year. I NEVER got around to cutting it back this Spring, so it is tall and lanky. BUT--because I never cut it back, it has bloomed so well.
Next Spring I will not only cut it wayyyy back--I will also repot it and get rid of the old, fibrous roots. You will be amazed at how huge and beautiful it will be then! I do this about every 3 years.
BTW--just for size--it is in a 14" pot.

How big is yours (if you have one...??)
