Hope you got some Ina. I grow them here in Southern California Zone 10 and they are as easy as pie to grow here. I grow them on the exact same schedule as I do all of my Cape bulbs from southwestern South Africa. I grow them outside unprotected all winter. I think they can take more cold than we get during our winters since they come from a much higher elevation than where I live. Bill Dijk grows them to perfection in New Zealand, so I expect that you won't have any problems either.
