Mike,

Veltheimia are native to South Africa, dry summers with cool moist winters. Since you are in western France they might resent summer rains.

I have found that all plants are tolerant of conditions that are outside of their 'normal range'.

Try some in the ground and some in the greenhouse, potted up, over the winter.

Did you get your seeds from http://www.silverhillseeds.co.za/ ?
