A Mediterranean climate prevails along the Cape coast with winter rainfall. Summer is from October to March.
Temperature varies from lows of 15º C (60º F) to highs of 30º C ( 96º F), with occasional chilly nights.
Winters require warm clothing, and are wet from frequent rains. Winter is from April to September.
Temperature vary from lows of 0º C (32º F) to highs of 18º C ( 66º F).
Humidity is high in the summer, less in the winter and less the further inland you go. There is a lot of sun in both seasons.

These are winter growers are they not? so are they going to do better in temps from 32-66F or would these do better from 60-90 F, are they going to need a summer dormancy? are they going to need a dormancy at all?
Thanks
Joel
