I once dug up some of mine and sent them to someone who wanted to try growing them and seeing if you could separate the corms like you can with Crocosmia and plant them and she did not have any success. None of them survived. The ones planted in our garden before we moved here more than 30 years ago reseeded and planted themselves in various places. Over time my experience is that they start to look unsightly even if I trim back the dead leaves and flowering diminishes so I've ended up digging some of those old stands out and tossing them. Most of the species are from summer rainfall areas and a lot of us grow them in Mediterranean climates so it could also be that they don't get enough water in summer. Since I enjoy seeing them at a time when most of the bulbs I grow aren't flowering I've decided what I need to do is to let them go to seed every few years and hope seedlings will find their way to suitable spots and start a new flowering stand.
