{{Inc| Zaluzianskya (after Zaluziansky, as indicated above, who wrote Methodus Herbariae, Prague, 1592). Including Nycterinia. Scrophulariaceae. More or less viscous annual or perennial garden herbs, also grown in the greenhouse. Leaves, lowest opposite, upper alternate, usually few-toothed; floral lvs. smaller, bract-like, entire: fls. sessile, usually arranged in dense or interrupted terminal spikes; calyx ovate-tubular, shortly 5-toothed, 2-lipped or 2-parted; corolla persistent, tube elongated, finally split to the base; limb 5-lobed, entire or 2-cleft; stamens usually 4: caps. oblong, leathery or membranaceous, septicidally dehiscent.—About 36 species, natives of S. Afr. All the species mentioned here have their corolla lobes bifid. Three of the species are known as night balsams or star balsams, from their night-blooming habit. The name night-blooming phlox would be better, as the flowers are salver-shaped and five-lobed, each lobe being deeply cut. These plants are generally treated as half-hardy annuals, the seed being sown indoors in early spring. The plants bloom in about ten weeks after being set out and continue in flower through July and August. Some cultivators declare that this method is very unsatisfactory and urge that the seed be sown in the autumn and the young plants wintered in a coldframe. They will then begin to flower by June. The blossoms are closed by day and are fragrant by night. }} Genus includes sticky-leafed annuals, perennials and subshrubs. Related to the foxglove family. Leaves are smooth or toothed. flowers have 5 spreading notched petals. petals at end of long tube. Most are night-scented. outside flower color very different than inside. ==Cultivation== Like full sun. Like well-drained soil. grow in nearly frost-free climate. In colder climates, grow in cool greenhouse. Keep nearly dry during winter. Colorful filler plant. ===Propagation=== Needs frequent propagation since even perennial varieties are short-lived. Propagate from tip cuttings in summer, or seed in spring (give bottom heat). ===Pests and diseases=== {{edit-pests}} ==Species== About 35 known species. Species include: *''[[Zaluzianskya affinis]]'' *''[[Zaluzianskya capensis‎]]'' *''[[Zaluzianskya lychnidea‎]]'' *''[[Zaluzianskya ovata]]'' *''[[Zaluzianskya selaginoides‎]]'' ==Gallery== {{photo-sources}} <gallery> Image:Upload.png| photo 1 Image:Upload.png| photo 2 Image:Upload.png| photo 3 </gallery> ==References== *Flora: The Gardener's Bible, by Sean Hogan.
