will albuca seeds survive freezing?

I grow that high-altitude form of A. humilis (collected at Naude's Nek, I
believe) in the open garden here in Shrewsbury, Massachusetts USA (lows to
-10F), and not only did it act thoroughly hardy last year (we shall see
about this), it self-sowed to excess, and I had to pull out handfuls.
Certainly the self-sown seedlings were the result of the previous year's
seeds successfully overwintering, and I have no doubt that they froze solid
for weeks on end (and froze and thawed for months).

This year I dead-headed the blooming plants. I love the species dearly,
but I think it bears watching.
