My conditions are cool/cold tropical Mediterranean. The N. filifolia are grown outdoors in near full sun, they are irrigated moderately in the dry season, and receive winter rains (plus irrigation if the rains don't come). Under these conditions they are evergreen (foliage thinner in the winter, but new leaves do grow), they can be forced into winter dry dormancy, but the roots are perennial (for the BX last year, I lifted and stored cool/dry/dumid/dark). They bloom vigorously in the autumn, for me, they'll bloom in half shade, but much better in sun. Soil is sandy/well drained, Fertilization is moderate/low. Robert in pleasantly cool and now moist San Francisco.
