Hi Terence, I have grown bulbs from seed and they seem to go into a natural dormancy period of their own accord. Depending what the species is and if you get frost where you are, the growth may be affected. The seedlings I grew were Chasmanthe Floribunda, Freesias, Veltheimias, Chives - Garlic and Sparaxis. I am just about to try Canna lilies and Tritonias - Can any one advise on growing these from seed? Am just going to try pot luck otherwise! Will let you know how I go.
