distribution_en: Subcosmopolitan (not NZ)

description_en: Genus of about 500 species of annuals and evergreen perennials and shrubs distributed in a wide range of habitats worldwide, except in New Zealand, Polynesia, and arctic regions. They are grown for their terminal or axillary racemes of colourful, pea-1lke flowers, produced in late spring and summer, or in some species in autumn; each flower has 5 sepals, the inner two forming broad, petal-like "wings", and 5 petals, the lowest forming a keel with a fringed apex. The leaves are alternate, opposite, or whorled, linear to rounded, and usually leathery. Grow hardy species in a woodland or rock garden, or in an alpine house. In frost-prone areas, grow tender species in a cool greenhouse or conservatory; in warmer climates, use in a shrub border.

hardiness_en: Fully hardy to frost tender.

cultivation_en:

propagation_en: Sow seed of hardy species in containers in an open frame in autumn; sow seed of tender species at not less than 15°C (59°F) in spring. Take softwood cuttings in early summer, or semi-ripe cuttings in mid-to late summer.

pests_en: Aphids and whiteflies may be a problem under glass.
