Description en: Genus of 350 species of annuals, evergreen perennials, semi-succulents, and shrubs from Africa, Madagascar, Asia, Australasia, and Pacific islands. Cultivated for their foliage and flowers, they are often upright at first but become trailing or spreading with growth.

In warmer areas, grow in a sunny border.
