Closely related to Habranthus, they are grown for their erect, funnel-shaped to tubular, often crocus-like, white, yellow, pink, or red flowers, borne from spring to autumn, usually when the linear leaves emerge. In frost-prone areas, grow in an alpine house or cool greenhouse; Z. candida will thrive outside in a rock garden. Elsewhere, use in a rock garden or at the front of a sunny border.
