re: Jacobean lily formerly Favourite Medit bulbs

No it doesn't spread rapidly. It is rather slow in fact. To speed up
increase make some nicks around the root plate where the bulb joins to
the roots. Tiny bulblets will form and can be picked off to be grown on
separately. Just make sure the nicks dry thoroughly before re-planting
the cut bulb.

What about Valotta lily - a sofetr shade of red and also a lovely pink
form too.

Chlidanthus too, divine yellow and such perfume. I think its called
Peruvian daffodil.

I too have bother getting the sea DAFFODIL (pANCRATIUM) TO FLOWER, EVEN
THO' THE BULBS ARE HEALTHY, GROW WELL AND MULTIPLY. (Sorry my finger
slipped onto the Caps Lock key.)

I looked this up and WOW!, what a beauty!  Pity I've never seen it for
sale in Northern CA, or I guarantee I would not have been able to
resist!
Does it spread aggressively like Crocosmia?

I would like to put in a vote for the Jacobean lily, Sprekelia
formosissima, 
for its glorious colour and heat tolerance.
