description_en: Genus of 60-70 species of annuals and deciduous and evergreen, often short-lived perennials, from damp grassland, bogs, and rocky habitats in alpine and subalpine areas of Australia, Tasmania, New Zealand, and New Guinea. They have very variable, often finely divided foliage, and produce masses of daisy-like flowerheads, with yellow disc-florets and usually purple, blue, or white ray-florets. Grow annuals in a border, in containers, for edging, or as bedding plants; use perennials in a rock garden. In frost-prone areas, grow half-hardy and frost-tender species in a cool greenhouse.
