Scadoxus multiflorus Katherinae - it's all happening

I found that mine didn't like ANY sun. And I don't know how they cope
with the high temperatures. Does it get that hot around the shady side
of your place?

I grow mine in the garden all year round, grows like mad from late
spring onwards and has buds coming up now. It is summer here now of
course. Day temperatures around 20C.

But I have had to make sure it is protected from all sun except a bit
late in the afternoon. I planted 2 Feijoa bushes and standardised them
so when they are a bit bigger they will do the job of shading the
Scadoxus. At this stage I still have a piece of shadecloth between the
Feijoas.

I leave them out all year in dappled shade and I water them all year. The
tops tend to die to the ground when it gets hot for the summer (say, over
104F / 40C) and then resprout in the fall, growing all winter. They don't
seem to freeze in our moderate overnight frosts.
