distribution_en:
description_en: Genus of 18 species of evergreen shrubs occurring mainly on poor soils in scrub and forest in warm-temperate areas of Australia. They are cultivated for their terminal, brush-like heads of numerous small flowers, each consisting largely of a tuft of coloured stamens. Leaves are small, simple, and borne in opposite pairs, in most species tightly packed and overlapping to conceal the stems. In frost-prone regions, grow beaufortias in a cool greenhouse. In frost free climates, plant in a border or at the base of a warm, sunny wall; they may also be used as low windbreaks.
hardiness_en: Half hardy to frost tender.

propagation_en: Surface-sow seed at 13-16°C (55-61°F) in spring. Root semi-ripe cuttings in summer.
pests_en: Prone to chlorosis and die-back in phosphate-rich soil.
