distribution_en:

description_en: Genus of 9 or 10 species of evergreen shrubs found on sandy or gravelly soils in heathland and woodland in Australia. They are cultivated for their slender, tubular flowers, which are solitary or borne in terminal clusters of 2-7, and surrounded by often colourful bracts; each flower has 4 narrow tepals that roll back like watch springs on opening. Leaves are usually narrow, simple, and entire, and are borne in pairs or whorls of 3. In frost-prone areas, grow in a cool or temperate greenhouse. In warmer climates, grow outdoors in a border.

hardiness_en: Generally frost tender; L. formosa may survive short periods near 0°C (32°F), provided the wood has been well ripened in summer.

cultivation_en:

propagation_en: Sow seed at 18°C (64°F) in spring, ideally singly in small containers. Root softwood cuttings in spring, or semi-ripe cuttings with bottom heat in summer; rooting may be slow and unreliable.

pests_en: Phytophthora root rot may be a problem in moist soil.
