I would start all almost scilla in early fall when temps start to decrease. Scilla reverchonii (now Hyacinthoides reverchonii) is an early spring bloomer. However, Plant World seeds says sow Scilla reverchonii any time. Following advice in Ian Youngs bulb log i start the seed about 1”+ deep in a gritty mix. Leave outside to catch the fluctuating temps. Freezing is fine for the scilla types from the Turkish mountains. Don't freeze scilla from non cold climates like Morocco or Madeira such as Scilla madeirensis, latifolia or Scilla lingulata. Though S lingulata Seems to do ok to 15F in dryish conditions. Fall sowing works for most fall and winter blooming scilla Exceptions is Scilla haemorrhoidalis which needs to be sown immediately after harvest or seed loose viability. 5 months after harvest is too late.
