description_en: Genus of about 150 species of annuals, herbaceous perennials, and subshrubs from dry scrub in Australia (one species from New Zealand). They are grown for their glossy, grass-like foliage and their flowers. The usually very narrow leaves, to 50cm (20in) long, are alternate or in basal rosettes. Pink, white, yellow, or purple flowers are borne in racemes, panicles, or corymbs in summer. The flowers are asymmetrical: each has 5 petals, one very small, with a central column combining stamens and style. A trigger action in the stamens aids insect pollination. In frost-prone areas, grow in a cool to temperate greenhouse. In warmer areas, use in a sunny border.
hardiness_en: Frost tender.
