distribution_en:

description_en: Genus of about 30 species of clump-forming, deciduous perennials (some-times with a few overwintering leaves) with a coarsely fibrous rootstock, found mainly in short turf and alpine meadows in Eurasia and N. America. They are cultivated for their finely dissected, fern-like leaves and their solitary, usually silky-hairy, bell- or cup-shaped flowers, produced in spring and early summer. The flowers are followed by spherical seed heads with silver-silky, plume-like styles, borne on stems that often elongate considerably after flowering; heights given below are for plants in flower. Grow in a rock garden, scree bed, or alpine house. All parts of the plant may cause mild stomach upset if ingested, and, in rare instances, contact with the sap may irritate skin.
