Hi Pamela I grew Scilla madierensis from seed also. The seedlings were kept warm and dry during the summer here and watering started in early fall. Remember to keep the bulbs buried only 50percent beginning about year 3. My bulbs bloomed at 7 years. (That is this year) . They bloomed in December,but you might have faster results in a warmer climate.
