Propagation is achieved by seed and division.
I have not seen any little orchids growing in my garden from seed, even though my plants do produce many seedpods. Perhaps my soil or climate is not what the seeds need to survive. If you are interested in growing them from seed, you might sprinkle seeds onto some damp sphagnum and hope they germinate. I like I do with my other bulbs. Generally speaking for cultivation out doors, plant the bulbs in early spring in an area that receives full sun.
