DORMANT TEMPERATURES

I live in coastal northern California and I keep my winter dormant soft
African bulbs either in my unheated greenhouse on the floor in winter
(Haemanthus, Cyrtanthus, Nerine, Gloriosa, Sandersonia) or sheltered a
bit from the wet outside (Eucomis and Merwilla). I expect my
temperatures are similar to Sylvia's.

As for the summer dormant bulbs the ones that live in the greenhouse
year round (like some of the Nerines) stay there, but I move the rest
that aren't in pots in pots in my raised beds to shady areas of the
garden and don't water them except sometimes seedlings. Like Ken I give
ones with perennial roots water every now and then.
