I'll add that the Northoscordum (Ipheon) dialystemon in my greenhouse blooms moderately well, 2 or 3 flowers at a time with a pot that sits in a damp, if not soaking wet, raised sand bed all winter and then goes bone dry and hot on a high bench in the summer. I've never fed mine consciously, but maybe a splash of a low N fert once in the winter. I never noticed if it was fragrant, though. It's in bloom right now, so time to check (not that my nose catches every scent in the greenhouse! There are some fragrant plants that I cannot smell at all, yet right now - a pot of Sarcococca hookeriana is taking over the fragrance notes).

We had trouble getting this to perform well until we planted it in a highly organic soil that stays soggy all year. There it exploded in both growth and flower.
