Now this may not look much to be getting excited about, but beleive me, I am. I have tried growing these several times from seed. I planted these last August & they've been outside ever since & had been forgotten about. That was until today! Home early from work & I was going to tip the compost out of the post as another failed seed attempt & I noticed 4 little green shoots! 😀

Thank you Della & Urszula. I think I might have given up after this attempt, but will definitely sow any seeds produced again this summer 🙂 @ublaszko & @harebell

Cheers Chris. I'll not quite be wrapping them in cotton wool, but they will get preferential treatment, that's for sure. Not sure how many years it'll be though before they get to flowering size? 🤔 @midnightgardener

You have the patience of a saint! I'd go straight for the bulb 😅 It will be interesting to see what colours you got 😍

That's from being a St Helens resident Urszula 😉 😇 I have at least 6 established ones & vowed not to get any more, as I'm struggling for space but seeds (from my own plants) don't count! 😁 @ublaszko
