description_en: Genus of about 70 species of annuals and evergreen and herbaceous perennials and subshrubs from mountains, cliffs, meadows, and dry slopes in N. temperate regions. They have simple or pinnate to 3-pinnate, entire, toothed, or scalloped, mostly aromatic, mainly basal leaves that are sparsely to densely hairy and sometimes silver. Stem leaves, where present, are spirally arranged, usually smaller and less divided, and may be stalkless. Terminal, daisy- or button-like flowerheads, borne singly or in corymbs, have yellow disc-florets and sometimes barely discernible, white, red, or yellow ray-florets. This diverse genus includes species suitable for a rock garden, a herb garden, or border edging. T. coccineum and its cultivars are suitable for a border and produce good cut flowers. Some have aromatic foliage, which may be dried for use in pot-pourri; several have medicinal qualities. Contact with the foliage may aggravate skin allergies.
