It’s definitely summer growing. Mauro Peixoto grows it northeast of São Paulo, Brazil. I’ve had constant trouble getting it through the winter here in inland So. California. Maybe I keep it too dry and it shouldn’t go dormant?

I can't tell whether it's from the winter- or summer-rainfall portion of South America, or maybe straddling the line.
