description_en: Genus of 9 species of bulbous and rhizomatous perennials from rocky cliffs and woodland in tropical regions of Africa and the Arabian Peninsula. They are closely related to Haemanthus, but are distinguished by the spiral arrange-ment of their leaves, and by their rhizomatous bulbs. They are cultivated for their spectacular, crowded, conical to spherical flowerheads of cylindrical red flowers, with 6 spreading or erect tepals, borne on leafless stems from spring to summer, and followed by spherical, yellow, orange, or red berries. In frost-prone areas, grow blood lilies in a temperate or warm greenhouse or conservatory; elsewhere, use in a border, or at the base of a warm, sunny wall.
