This year I would like to have a go with some Snakes heads that
have
set seed.

If anyone could recommend the correct treatment I would be
grateful.

I always start my snakeshead seeds off in pots as they tend to get
lost sown in the open ground. Never let the seeds dry out and sow on
a good compost, covering with 1/8" of sifted soil. Keep the compost
damp at all times and place the pot/s out in a shaded part of your
garden. I re-pot every year for the first three before planting the
bulbs out in their flowering positions. They usually take four to
five years to flower from seed.

Ah, that's good news. I was expecting a quicker return on last years
sowing. I will just be patient and allow them to mature in their own
good time. Thanks.
