description_en: Genus of about 30 species of bulbous perennials, some evergreen, found on mountain screes, on rock ledges, and in other well-drained or arid habitats in southern Africa. They are grown for their spherical umbels of lily-like flowers, with reflexed, often wavy-margined tepals; in herbaceous species, these appear before or with the strap-shaped leaves. Many cultivars with large, colourful flowers have been developed; flowers are borne in umbels, 10-20cm (4-8in) across, ofÅ@up to 25 flowers, followed by semi-erect, basal leaves. Grow N. bowdenii at the base of a sunny wall. N. sarniensis and N. undulata thrive where frosts are rare. Grow N. filifolia and N. masoniorum in a rock garden. All are ideal greenhouse plants, and are good as cut flowers. IfÅ@ingested, all parts may cause mild stomach upset.
