Too early to plant begonia tubulars outside?

billyhead · 2022-03-26 12:54:52

I heard the gardener Pauric Horgan on Newstalk say dahlia bulbs can be planted outside know. I though you had to wait until late April early May to avoid late frosts. I have begonia bulbs to plant and I don't want to kill them. Does anyone know if they could be planted now? Apologies folks I should have titled this thread…

Don’t really know anything about begonias and wouldn’t know if they’re frost hardy or not but there’s a very cold spell coming next week, I’d maybe air on the side of caution until that passes at least?
