description_en: Genus of 10-12 species of bulbous perennials from wooded hills or rocky sites in low mountains, and the margins of cultivated fields, in China and Japan. They are grown for their showy umbels of tubular-funnel-shaped flowers, with narrow, spreading, sometimes reflexed tepal lobes, borne on leafless stems from spring to early autumn. The leaves are linear or strap-shaped. In areas with dry summers, grow in a sunny border or rock garden. Where summers are wet, they are best grown as container plants in a conservatory or cool greenhouse, but do not always flower regularly.
