description_en: Genus of about 70 species of evergreen or deciduous, rhizomatous perennials from mountainous or upland areas, often in moist places in rough grass or along streamsides, in southern and tropical Africa. Most are clump-forming, with arching, tufted, linear to strap-shaped, light to mid-green or blue-green leaves. In deciduous species and hybrids these leaves are usually thin, grass-like, and 10-100cm (4-39in) long; in evergreens, they are broader, keeled or strap-shaped, and to 1.5m (5ft) long. Erect, usually dense, spike-like racemes, 5-40cm (2-16in) long, of numerous pendent, occasionally erect, tubular or cylindrical flowers, 0.3-5cm (1/8-2in) long, are borne well above the foliage. They are attractive to bees. The flowers are red, orange, yellow, white, or greenish white; some open red, then turn to yellow, bearing striking, 2-coloured racemes. Numerous cultivars have been raised, ranging in size from dwarf plants, 50cm (20in) high, to tall plants, to 1.8m (6ft) high. Grow in a herbaceous border; in frost-prone areas, grow tender species in a cool or temperate greenhouse.
hardiness_en: Fully hardy to frost tender.
cultivation_en:
propagation_en: Sow seed in containers in a cold frame in spring (although cultivars seldom come true from seed). Divide established clumps in late spring. Stimulate offshoots from slow-growing, woody-based, evergreen red hot pokers by cutting off crowns; leave offshoots in place to develop for 2 years before separating from parent plants, or use new shoots as basal cuttings.
pests_en: Thrips may cause mottling of the foliage. Violet root rot may be a problem.
