description_en: Genus of 15 species of tap-rooted, often strong-smelling, hairy, sticky annuals, biennials, and perennials found on banks, cliffs, wasteland, and shingle beaches in Europe, N. Africa, and Asia. They have lance-shaped to rounded, thick, coarse, felted, usually toothed leaves, and bear branching, leafy racemes of funnel- to bell-shaped flowers from late spring to autumn. They are grown for their unusual flowers and interesting seed heads, which are useful in dried flower arrangements. Grow in poor stony soils, on a dry bank, or in wall crevices. Henbanes will tolerate coastal conditions. All parts of henbanes are highly toxic if ingested, and may irritate the skin on contact.
