Hello Shmuel, Having received seeds from Silverhill I asked the same question as you did. The reply I got was exactly what was stated. Winter growing bulb seed might germinate now but with warmer temperatures approaching they will not have time enough to build up a bulb big enough to survive the first dry summer. Watering a dormant seedling pot may kill the dormant bulb as well. So it is better to store the seed of winter growers until let's say October. My personal experience in storing seed of winter growing plants like Gladiolus and Albuca is very good, in general this seed is surprisingly long lived. Seed of all those plants which will not go dormant in summer can be sown now. Good success!
