distribution_en:
description_en: Genus of about 350 species of shrubby or stemless, mat-forming, perennial succulents from semi-desert regions of Namibia and South Africa. Many species branch freely to form tufts or mats; others become shrubby, to 1m (3ft) tall. The leaves are arranged in pairs and are often boat-shaped. Daisy-like flowers open during the day in summer. In warm, dry climates, grow in a raised bed or desert garden. In frost-prone areas, grow prostrate species in a temperate greenhouse, or treat as frost-tender annuals and use for bedding, window-boxes, or hanging baskets.
hardiness_en: Frost tender.

propagation_en: Sow seed at 21°C (70°F) in early spring. Plant out seedlings to be grown as annuals when all danger of frost has passed. Root cuttings of stem sections from spring to summer.
