I live in Saskatchewan in Canada Zone 3 and these plants survive here but don't bloom until early-mid June. They multiply by little tiny bulbs very slowly, but they have set seeds if blooms are left on. I have collected the seeds and tried starting them but with no success. Any suggestions?

I bought these super cheap from a mail order/online catalog. I didn't think I'd get much out of them, but with about 40 bulbs I planted them in groups of five near some other lilies last fall. They are blooming now (end of May) in my zone 6 garden. So pretty, wispy, and airy looking! I love the delicate purple color, and the bunnies in my yard don't seem to care about them, which is an added bonus!
