Haemanthus Hardiness

We have a diverse collection in the ground here in Berkeley and I don't
think we've lost any to frost in my 7 years here. It gets down to
mid-20s in the Garden and the leaves get very stiff. I'm sure this
doesn't approach the midwest/east coast.

I'd like to ask this group as

well: do you grow any Haemanthus in the ground where you garden? Which
species? How cold/wet does it get at your place?

We have a few H. montanus in the garden in northeast North Carolina, Zone
8a.. Hot, humid summer, wet spring and winter. Can't say if they will
prove to be long time survivors yet.
