Has anyone grown dietes bicolour in the UK and found it to be garden-hardy?

Given a sunny spot in well drained soil, bicolor is one of the hardier
species. I have this, grandiflora and robinsoniana growing here, but
conditions in my Torquay garden are hardly going to be indicative of
hardiness elsewhere. I know of a well established clump of Dietes
bicolor that came through the bitter winters of 08/09 & 09/10 in
Leicestershire with only partial die-back and is now almost fully
recovered..

Thanks David.. worth a try then :-)
