We get temperatures over 40 deg Celsius in the summer (Adelaide, Australia), but winter temperatures are above freezing point. Even during our recent drought they survived well, mostly with dirty water from the kitchen, saved from washing vegetables or rinsing hands. A very useful and surprisingly tough group of plants.
