They bear alternate, narrowly lance-shaped, light to mid-green, white-woolly leaves, but are cultivated for their long-stemmed, leafy clusters of small, rounded, papery, daisy-like, usually yellow flowerheads, borne from summer to early autumn. Suitable for an annual or mixed border. The flowerheads are good for drying, the clustered blooms of P. humboldtianus turning an attractive metallic green.
