description_en: Genus of about 80 species of evergreen shrubs and subshrubs found in scrub, rocky places, and grassland from coastal areas to mountains in Australasia. Those commonly cultivated usually have opposite pairs of ovate to oblong leaves. Tubular, sometimes fragrant flowers, each with 4 spreading lobes, are borne in flat to almost spherical, terminal heads, surrounded by often colourful bracts. They are followed in some species by white, red, green, or black fruits (one-seeded drupes or nuts). In frost-prone areas, grow in containers outdoors and bring under cover in winter, or grow in a cool greenhouse. In warmer climates, grow in a border or a rock garden.
