Nerine sarniensis and its varieties and hybrids

Dear Jim,
This species grows in winter and is dormant in the summer in both
hemispheres once it is on the schedule it is in nature. It blooms in fall
before the leaves or sometimes with the leaves in my experience. So the
answer is yes to both of your questions.

Mary Sue, when you write "This is a plant with winter rainfall and dry
summers. It is dormant in summer" the winter and summer you are referring
to are the northern hemisphere ones, right? Or are you saying that the
plants in southern Africa grow during their winter and are dormant during
their summer?
