C. pendula in my backyard (coastal southern CA) gets regular watering all year round and blooms dependably every year. Where I have seen it in Mexico, there does seem to be a dryer season early in the year, say for 2-3 months before easter, but totally dry is not the case. The wild plants do get somewhat dehydrated. However, while this may be something the plants can tolerate, I see no reason to think it is what they prefer.
