description_en: Genus of 21 species of bulbous perennials, some of them evergreen, from grassy, rocky hillsides in South Africa. From summer to autumn, and occasionally in winter, they bear tiny flowers in showy umbels that resemble shaving brushes. These are borne above erect, or semi-erect to spreading, strap-shaped to lance-shaped, broadly elliptic, or rounded, mid- to dark green, basal leaves. In frost-prone areas, grow in a temperate greenhouse or as houseplants. In frost-free areas, grow in semi-shaded or sunny sites between shrubs. All parts of blood lilies may cause mild stomach upset if ingested; contact with the sap may irritate skin.
