Woody-based crowns produce erect stems, branching above the middle, that bear alternate, pinnate to pinnatifid leaves and solitary, terminal flowerheads. They are cultivated for their daisy-like flowerheads, which have a few long, yellow or yellow-brown ray-florets and prominent, spherical or cone-shaped centres of brown disc-florets. Grow in a sunny border, gravel garden, or wild-flower meadow. The flowerheads are good for cutting.
