I have planted Jack in the Pulpit bulbs several times in different places in my garden, but they have never done well. Years ago I planted some seed for it & they bloomed the first year & looked great. Unfortunately, I decided I wanted them in a different place & they didn't survive that.. I grew a lot of things from seed for a few years, til I got my garden filled, some more unusual plants that you can't get locally. Now I'm seeing more of them available locally. Some of them have died out over time without reseeding. I still grow some things from seed, but not as much. I need to start growing some more, I noticed I have some spots for plants :) I remember the first daylilies, lilies, peonies, helleobores I grew from see & how proud I was of them. They all took at least 3 years to bloom but they are quite happy in my garden now.

I have a few things coming up from seed but my track record for overwintering is poor. I never give them the protection they need and that spells death.
These managed to thrive in spite of my care, and put up their first blooms the second summer after planting. I'm on an allium kick lately with several types in the pipeline, these are allium flavum

I grow lots of things from seed, but mostly annuals. In the bulb realm, I have had great success with the zephyranthes clan. I have grown zephyranthes reginae from seed several times, as well as atamasco lilies, which are also in that group (the Latin escapes me right now). It usually only takes three years from seed for these happy bulbs. I do it mostly because I like big masses of things and bulbs for these are very difficult to find in my area. Don't know why. They love it here. And yes, it saves a good bit of money and makes me very happy too. Working with seeds is like watching miracles...
