It's a bit hard to keep going but once you get it settled it's great. I've tried it three times now and everytime it fails to come back the following year

Mark ,

I'm a bit surprised - my ikariae grows really well here !
I have 3 little bulbs bougth in year 1999 and they have a good multiplication - I have given so many people from this plants and I have still enough .
They also produce good and fertile seeds -now I have also seedlings

it's interesting that someone I know took seeds from an ikariae which grew in a churchyard (one clump only), it was grown on in the garden and now seeds everywhere so perhaps it is to do with the soil?
