Of the southern African species only five extend into tropical Africa. The genus is consequently considered to be a southern African entity. The genus is characterized by water-wise succulent plants with lax or compound racemes (flowers borne on stalks along an unbranched axis, lower ones opening first) of mostly yellow (very rarely white, orange or pink) flowers with bearded stamens. It is closely related to Bulbinella but has flowers that are "bearded" with hairy stamens. Many Bulbine species have medicinal uses too.

Bulbine narcissifolia is ideal to use as an accent plant in a small bed or as a mass display in a large bed. Plants are rather fast growing and drought resistant, making it ideal for water-wise gardening. In its natural habitat it mostly flowers during spring (February to April) and summer (September to November), but can have an extended flowering period in cultivation. It puts of a gorgeous display of brilliant yellow flowers without requiring a lot of attention. The contrasting white bracts and bright yellow flowers on the compact inflorescences form an interesting display.
