Dire disappearing Dierama

Dierama pulcherrimum is evergreen. If it dies back (if the foliage disappears), that's not a good sign.

I've found that Dierama corms in pots rot easily during the Winter if the
soil remains too moist. For me, they like it neither too moist, nor overly
dry. In the greenhouse I try to keep them on the dry side, and water from
the bottom only, if I think they're going to desiccate. The ones outside
in the ground (well draining) fare better, but eventually succumb to the
less than ideal conditions for Dierama here.

Last spring I planted some seed of Dierama pulcherimum. It germinated

and grew all summer, going dormant in November.
I got impatient waiting for them to re-sprout so I looked into the pot.
Nothing! Not a single corm.
What did I do wrong?
