description_en: Genus of about 100 species of ever-green, semi-evergreen, and deciduous shrubs, sometimes trees and climbers, and a few herbaceous perennials, from riversides, rocky areas, and scrub in Asia, Africa, and North and South America. They are cultivated for their panicles of small, tubular, usually fragrant flowers, and sometimes for their lance-shaped to broadly ovate, usually opposite leaves. All except the climbers are suitable for a mixed or shrub border; the frost-hardy species generally grow and flower best against a warm, sunny wall. In frost-prone areas, grow half-hardy and tender species in a cool greenhouse. B. davidii and several other species, such as B. alternifolia and B. crispa are attractive to insects.
