Glorious lily propagation

If you are purchasing seed from a reseller you may be getting old seed. I’ve had no problem with seed from Silverhill as well as a few of the wholesalers that supply many seed shops. I just use a basic seed starting mix and just cover them lightly. Nothing special. The seeds were harvested the previous season so don’t need to be planted immediately after harvest. I don’t know if the same applies to Gloriosa but many deciduous species I grow will not sprout the same season they are harvested. It would seem the later the seed pods mature the more likely the seed have a dormant period.

Does anyone have advice regarding propagating gloriosa seeds? Can they be stored? Is scarification necessary? Have tried to germinate the seeds multiple times over the years without much success.
