That situation is so different from mine that I'll try S. peruviana again. 
Mine were at or just within the drip line from the eaves about 24" out from 
the wall.   As I noted eucomis, crinum, glads and small Zantedeschias come 
through winters regularly with this arrangement.  The Zantedeschias do not 
flower prettily, but sort of.  The Crinum, when they flower are OK. I'm 
waiting for the Eucomis this year.  Crinums are bulbispermum, Ellen 
Bosanquet, and Super Ellen.  I don't know if the last two will flower this 
year, but I have high hopes.
