description_en: Genus of about 150 species of biennials and often woody-based perennials found in sunny, rocky sites, often rock crevices, from the Mediterranean to Turkey. They are grown for their nodding cymes of narrowly tubular to cylindrical-bell-shaped flowers, mainly yellow, pink, red, or white. The simple, alternate leaves are covered in fine hairs, contact with which may irritate skin. Grow in a scree bed, or in a rock or wall crevice; in wet climates, they grow best in an alpine house or cold greenhouse.
hardiness_en: Frost hardy; most will withstand temperatures to -10°C (14°F).
