description_en: Genus of 2 erect to spreading, bushy, sticky-hairy annuals or short-lived perennials found on disturbed ground, in dry canyons, and on rocky slopes in the southern Andes. They have entire to wavy-margined or lobed, oval to lance-shaped, bright mid-green leaves, and produce funnel-shaped, richly coloured, red, yellow, bronze, violet-blue, or purple flowers from summer to autumn. Suitable for an annual, herbaceous, or mixed border where summers are warm, sunny, and reasonably dry. In cool-temperate regions, they are effective long-flowering container plants in a warm greenhouse or conservatory, and may be bedded out in summer. They provide moderately long-lasting cut flowers.
