description_en: Genus of 20-30 species of bushy, fast-growing annuals and woody-based, evergreen perennials, occurring in arable land, wasteland, and rocky habitats from S. Europe to North Africa. Leaves are alternate, simple, and aromatic. Daisy-like flowerheads, with orange or yellow ray-florets and yellow, orange, violet, purple, or brown disc-florets, are borne in a long succession over the summer and throughout autumn into mild winters. Many of the cultivars are excellent annuals for an informal border; the flowers last well when cut. They are also suitable for growing in containers in a cool conservatory.
