Although some species are persistent weeds, others are cultivated for their dandelion-like flowerheads, borne singly or in simple or compound, many-flowered racemes, corymbs, or panicles. They have one or several, mainly branched stems, and usually produce flattened, basal rosettes of entire to pinnatifid leaves. Those species grown as ornamental plants are suitable for a rock garden.
