Some will produce viable seeds, others don't seem to make any or if they do they are not proper seeds such as Cameo made this year, they looked like green peas and have now rotted. Good seed has a small hard round seed inside a fleshy coating.

I had a few last year from my red which I think is Majestic Red, it was late making seeds but I got 2 to grow, one looks strong. They won't come true from seed as they are hybrids, it will be a surprise what they turn out like although I haven't as yet grown any to maturity. Some could resemble the parents used in the breeding, some may look like the plant itself, they could be totally different!

The straight species such as Z. albomaculata should come true and they make good seeds, but there is no guarantees they won't have crossed with others if in flower at the same time.

I found they can take up to 3 years to flower from new young tubers, Cameo has multiplied well now but it was a lone survivor from the original plant which rotted along with 3 other new bulbs, it was a very cold winter.

This is the red with it's seeds, still there and maturing,
