Growing clivia in ground....irrigation needed?

I have about 15 clivia plants in a semi-shaded area. They all pulled through after this cold winter (a few had some frost damage, but they look ok now).
We are in the process of refining our drip irrigation system and I was wondering if these require a summer dry period or not? Should I keep them off of the main line entirely and just hand water them? If so, when should I do this and how often?

We have done xeriscaping everywhere, but since it doesn't rain here the entire summer long I do have to irrigate most areas occasionally (except the arbutus and some other native plants).

I checked out the clivia forum, but it seems most people are growing them in pots over there....
Thanks for any input :)
