Summer treatment of Nerine sarniensis

Nerine sarniensis are sometimes called "Guernsey Lilies" because of a
bunch of them that naturalized on the island of Guernsey after a
shipwreck several centuries ago.

I couldn't find the rainfall pattern for Guernsey, but here is the
monthly rainfall data for Cherbourg, France, which is nearby. I seems
quite a bit of rain can fall even in the summertime. The average
temperature at the Guernsey airport is very mild as well. The hottest
average daily temperature is only about 61°F/16°C during July and August.
