| They need to go dormant in winter. Like aroid tubers, they need a rest period. |

| You can start them indoors after their rest period which gives faster bloom than putting them in cool soil outdoors. |

| hi thank you for your answers.when can i start them indoors? |

| I like to start them 4-6 weeks before planting out dates. The planting out date is usually after last frost (when annuals are safe to put out). |

| I can't answer for your zone. It is very important to check with a local begonia society or other local sources. A greenhouse or garden club are a good place to start. |
