You can do that if you wish, my E bicolor has grown very well in gaps within a few feet of the plants, they have been through very hard frost (-9C) even as young bulbs close to the surface and it didn't bother them. They eventually place themselves lower in the ground, I had some flower in their 3rd year.

They do need to be cool to germinate, 16-18C is about right, and fresh is best.

This is a self set from the unknown one, it is like bicolor with flowers the same, the top knot was a little smaller, but the leaves are a bit bigger and more wavy and paler, no spots on them or the stems. I had a couple flower this year, and got a few seeds before they dropped, the seeds on bicolor are round, these are pointed at one end and larger.
