What's it growing in now? If moving from one pot to a larger one, sure, do it now before it gets any further along and difficult to work with. If in the ground, then I would question the need to put it in a container. Much easier to deal with the plant in the ground without all the associated details of container culture.

it's in a pot now-- wanted to make sure I wasn't too late already to pot it up for this season

Nope! I'm still repotting some of mine and they are much further along.
