Keith, I agree with Rick on this one. Being that your seed is very likely an asiatic immediate epigeal seed, I think you have a few choices for best options.
1. Freeze the seed and plant outside in late winter/early spring.
2. Sow seeds now but then you will need a light setup and a place that will stay warm enough for the winter.
3. Freeze seeds and start under lights in January or February indoors.
I've been using option 3 for my immediate epigeal seeds and it gives the seeds a head start on natural germination in spring to build up a little more bulblet size before planting out in the fall.
