Hi All, Brunsvigia grandiflora grows well in my climate, and although it comes from a summer rainfall area, the bulbs are definitely winter growing and summer dormant. The trick I have found to growing this plant is to never stop watering it! When summer comes here, and the Brunsvigia grandiflora starts to go dormant, I put them with my Rainlilies just to make sure that I don't forget to water them. They never really dry out and usually receive a summer watering every two or three days. The 6 year old bulbs have increased each year under this cultivation. Hope this helps. Kind regards, Dirk
