Depends on where in British Columbia you are. Check the chart on this page:

Depending on the seed, you can start them inside in a sunny, south-facing window 4-6 weeks before the last frost date, and then transplant the seedlings out then. But some flowers don't like being transplanted and prefer being sown where they will grow. The package should mention it if starting inside is an option.

You really need to know which zone you are in. Also notice that you may have many different micro-climates in your yard. Take a walk around your yard and notice the difference in sun exposure and temps at various times of the day. The more sun, the warmer the temps, the less chance of frost.
