Propagation
Sow seeds when ripe during late autumn in a well drained seed mix at 5mm (? in) depth. It takes 2 years to produce flowers from seeds.

Offsets can be detached when they have roots. Transplant the bulbs during summer and space 15-20 mm (ľ in) with the apex protruding at a height of 20 to 50 mm (2 in).
