description_en: Genus of about 96 species of mostly short-lived, mainly evergreen perennials, but also scrambling climbers, shrubs and small trees, occurring in habitats ranging from coastal dunes to damp, subalpine regions in Australia and Polynesia. They have alternate, rarely opposite, rounded to linear, entire or toothed leaves, and produce solitary or few-flowered cymes or racemes of distinctive, fan-shaped flowers. In frost-prone areas, grow in a cool greenhouse or conservatory, or grow outdoors in containers or hanging baskets during summer. In warmer climates, grow in a border.
hardiness_en: Frost tender, but may tolerate falls in temperature to around -3°C (27°F), or perhaps lower, if soil is very sharply drained.
