Hi,

I don't know about the various forms of C. scabrum in South Africa, but C.
scabrum and its hybrids do well in southeast Texas. C. bulbisperumum
naturalizes and is most commonly seen around Houston, but C. scabrum is a pass-along
plant in many southern gardens. C. x herbertii (Milk and Wine) is also easily
found along the Gulf Coast. I don't think C. zeylanicum is too common (not
sure).

Marcelle Sheppard in Beaumont, TX grows a number of C. scabrum. They seem to
enjoy zone 9, year round rain and lots of summer heat, and adequate but not
exceptional drainage.
