It flowers in May, and is increased by dividing the bulbs 
or by seeds. The seeds should be sown when ripe, in pans 
filled with light sandy loam and leaf-mould, and placed in a 
cold pit or frame, and kept rather dry at first ; afterwards 
they should be rather freely supplied during the growing 
season. The young plants should not be removed from the 
seed pan before the second season, and then in a growing 
state. i 
Seedling plants grow slowly, and take some years before 
they bloom. It has thus been raised in the Garden of the 
Horticultural Society, but it has not yet flowered.
