Crowea is a small genus of three species which is closely related to Eriostemon and Philotheca. All species have been cultivated fairly widely.

Some forms are more hardy than others - the form known as "Poorinda Ecstasy" with large light pink flowers seems to be one of the most adaptable to a range of climates.
