Scilla madeirensis Seed

I have had 100% germination with Scilla madeirensis seeds. On February 11, 2017 I planted seeds I ordered online from Portugal. I put 10 seeds in peat moss in each 8” wide 5” deep clay pot. They have been there a year and will stay there another year. They are still babies. Germination takes a few weeks. They looked like amaryllis seedlings for a while and are now 8” tall with one wide leaf each. I kept the soil moist the first year, with saucers under the pots, but I have let them dry out somewhat this summer so they can rest and restart growth in the winter. Whether I can get them to adulthood remains to be seen.

Hi again-
Has anyone who has grown this plant from seed have germination percentages?
Just wondering how many seeds to plant per pot and what size pot to use?
Any prediction of how long germination takes? What should be my watering
schedule?
Having never grown Scilla of any kind from seed, I am definitely looking
forward to this adventure! And it looks like I'll have some to share with
the BX/SX.
Thanks so much,
Pamela Slate
