description_en: Genus of about 80 species of small, cormous perennials from a range of habitats including mountainous areas and coastal cliff tops in Europe, the Mediterranean, N. Africa, and South Africa. They are grown for their colourful, crocus-like flowers, produced in spring on very short, slender stems. The flowers often open only at midday, closing in the evening. Each plant produces up to 6 erect, or recurved and arching, thread-like, basal leaves, 5-40cm (2-16in) long. Grow in a sunny rock garden, or in containers in an alpine house.
