description_en: Genus of 3 species of erect, tap-rooted annuals, biennials, and short-lived perennials found in moist prairies and fields from C. and S. USA to N. South America. Leaves are opposite, ovate to oblong-lance-shaped, stalkless, and sometimes stem-clasping. In summer, leafy flowering stems produce showy, deeply cup-shaped or bell-shaped, pastel-coloured flowers, either singly or in clusters, which gradually open from slender, furled buds. In frost-prone areas, grow as flowering container plants in a temperate greenhouse. In warmer areas, grow as annuals in a bed or border. Good for cut flowers.
