I live if
I’ve been going about this for about 4 years.
I’ve been successful making seeds.
I’ve been successful in making 1 year starts in 4” pots left outside.
Past that I’ve been a failure.
The 1 year bulblets just disappear.
My assessment is:
Winter freezing them out. It got down to 17 Deg last winter. The pots were outside. or,
Moss chocking them out. I’m not sure this is really a problem but the moss got pretty thick ¼”.
Insects or some other animal eating them. Does this happen?
This year my 2010 seeds are in 4” pots in my unheated greenhouse and coming up like gangbusters.
Some of my 2009 seeds that did not come up last year are also coming up.
My plan is to let them grow this spring and then bury the pots in my garden outside or maybe bury them in my green house.
What would all you experts recommend so I can improve my odds of actually getting flowers.
