Fortunately not, Ushadi plants like Fritillaria imperialis, Eremurus himalaicus, Tulipa stellata, which do so well in their hilly habitats tend to lose their vigour in city's polluted environment, and may not multiply that much. Many also turn vegetative and rarely flower. I have only one in flower out of more than plants, and that two has single scape emerging from the tuft of leaves.
