You probably have S. multiflorus, the most popular one. It will have a very short or no dormancy period. The main thing is to keep it cool (above 50°F), but not too warm. If you have S. multiflorus ssp. multiflorus, (it flowers before mid-summer) it comes from the dry savannah, so careful watering is needed. If you have S. multiflorus ssp katharinae (it flowers after mid-summer), it comes from a much wetter area.
Seeds are supposed to be easy to start, if you get any, but need to be sown right away and can take 10 years to bloom.
