description_en: Genus of about 40 species of annuals and evergreen perennials and subshrubs from dry savannah in South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, and Ethiopia. They are cultivated mainly for their flowers; a few species are grown for their foliage. The alternate leaves may occasionally be simple, but are usually pinnatifid, pinnatisect, or pinnate, often hairy or downy, and frequently aromatic. Daisy-like, yellow, orange, or red flowerheads, usually solitary sometimes in corymbs, are borne on long stalks well above the foliage. Grow annual species at the front of a border or at the base of a house wall. Where winter temperatures fall below 0°C (32°F), grow perennials and subshrubs in a cool greenhouse or treat as annuals. Alternatively, lift before the first frosts and overwinter in frost-free conditions. In milder areas, grow in a border or small courtyard garden.
