I have grown this for many years starting from four seeds. I keep it in a frost free greenhouse where it doesn't get much light but flowers well most years. This year a friend and neighbour bought one in flower from the Great Dixter plant fair. It was from Cotswold Garden Flowers. I cross pollinated them and the resulting fruit set perfectly (see pic). Perviously even though there are four seedlings (presumably siblings) fruit set always aborted. It has also crossed with Scilla latifolia though whether there is an advantage in this cross is unlikely, perhaps in the inflorescence branching of S. latifolia?
