Rhodohypoxis

Dear Friends,
I notice that the a Dutch export catalog lists 28 or so
different spec., ssp and named cvs of the genus, Rhodohypoxis.

I have tried a few outdoors in a protected spot and had
plants last a year or two, but found it more difficult to keep in
pots in a cool greenhouse where it should be much happier.

I'd love to try these again , but am soliciting help from
pros who have grown them in similar conditions: protected - even
slightly from my cold climate. Is there some secret to potting mix,
water cycles, exposure, heat tolerance or voodoo. ?

There's been little discussion of this genus here (I think)
so appreciate even some basic info on best cultivation and care.

And can someone recommend a source here in the US.?

Thanks Jim W.
