Ixiolirion tataricum - how hardy and long-lived is it?

I'm really pleased to see this new wiki page and the pretty flowers. I've
always wondered if they really bloomed. Like Jane, I've bought these a
number of times from commercial sources and have never seen them flower,
nor have they lasted longer than perhaps the second year. I finally
concluded they weren't meant to be in my garden. They definitely need more
than just a dry summer. I tried in Stockton too where it is much warmer in
the summer.
