description_en: Genus of 124 species of xerophytic, sometimes tree-like, evergreen perennials occurring on rocky, windswept cliffs or outcrops in scrub or woodland in tropical Africa, Madagascar, and tropical N., C., and S. America. They are grown for their fragrant, white, yellow, blue, purple, or violet flowers, which are bell-, funnel-, or star-shaped, and borne singly on long stalks. The narrowly elliptic to lance-shaped, toothed, rigid, often sharp-edged leaves are produced in tufts at the tops of woody stems, which can reach 4m (12ft) high. In frost-prone regions, grow in a warm greenhouse in containers or in hanging baskets. In dry, tropical areas, grow in a rock garden or desert garden. Vellozias often appear dead in drought conditions but quickly bear new leaves after watering or rainfall.
