The alternate or opposite, often velvety leaves are simple to 3-pinnate, and are often flushed red to bronze when young.

Where temperatures drop below 16°C (61°F), grow mainly for their foliage, as houseplants or in a warm greenhouse. In warmer areas, they are distinctive specimens for a small lawn, and are also useful for hedging.
