description_en: Genus of about 50 species of small, bulbous perennials from Europe, N. Africa, and W. and C. Asia. They are grown for their star-shaped to cup- or funnel-shaped, yellow or white flowers, borne in umbels or racemes, with prominent leaf-like bracts, from spring to early summer. The leaves are basal, long, and linear or linear-lance-shaped. Some species produce bulbils in the axils of basal leaves and in the inflorescences. Most are suitable for a rock garden; in wet climates, G. graeca is best grown in an alpine house or bulb frame.
