Yes it is worth sowing them BUT it takes a few years to get the plants up to
flowering size.
I've always just sowed in a pot of multipurpose compost and covered the
seeds with about a quarter of an inch of sifted compost. Keep moist and in a
warmish light place, about 50°F, and they should start growing quite
quickly. Either repot with more space or plant out into a nursery bed next
summer. Alternatively wait until next spring and plant then but you will
be another year behind.

Try looking near the top of the stem for small bulbs and plant these
instead. I did this last year and the resultant plants flowered this year.
