Mine have spread, but slowly over the 25 years. I do let them go to seed and when the pods rippen I then throw the pods around the garden. A few have taken and are starting new patches but a very slow go. I need to dig some up this year when they are dormant to start some in new areas. Here is a patch of them by the front door. First ones out in last week of Jan and they will bloom until early April. The last two picture were take April 12 and show them almost all gone and being replaced by a planting of Chionodoxa forbesii 'Giant blue'. They are so jolly. Patti

Here is a great site about them. http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A3694728
