Asteraceae is a botanical family belonging to the order Asterales, one of the members of the eudicotyledons. Also known as Compositae or composites, they are one of the families with the largest number of species among Angiosperms. Many species are used in cultivation due to their biological value, and some representatives of this family are absinthe (Artemisia absinthium), lettuce (Lactuca sativa), sunflower (Helianthus), chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum sp.), Daisy (Bellis perennials), among many others. They are found in tropical, subtropical and temperate regions, vegetating in the most diverse habitats.
Senetti
These easy-care flowers look terrific in containers or flower borders. Growing 8 to 12 inches tall, pericallis, occasionally called cineraria (and sometimes Senetti after some popular varieties of the plant), produces daisy-like flowers in a variety of bold shades including purple, blue, pink, rose and bi-color. Pericallis thrives in cool weather and makes a great companion for other early-birds such as pansy and sweet alyssum. Generally considered an annual, pericallis is a tender perennial in regions with cool, moist summers. The plants are also attractive to butterflies and deer resistant.

Gazania /ɡəˈzeɪniə/ is a genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae.
The genus occurs from low-altitude sands to alpine meadows in South Africa, Swaziland, Mozambique, Tanzania, and Angola. Additionally, species are naturalised and declared weed in South Australia, New Zealand, the Mediterranean, and California.
They produce large, daisy-like composite flowerheads in brilliant shades of yellow and orange, over a long period in summer. They are often planted as drought-tolerant groundcover.
Gazania species are grown for the brilliant colour of their flowerheads which appear in the late spring and are often in bloom throughout the summer into autumn. They prefer a sunny position and are tolerant of dryness and poor soils.
As a member of the Asteraceae, the dahlia has a flower head that is actually a composite (hence the older name Compositae) with both central disc florets and surrounding ray florets. Each floret is a flower in its own right, but is often incorrectly described as a petal, particularly by horticulturists. The modern name Asteraceae refers to the appearance of a star with surrounding rays.
Этот вид георгинов отличается широкими лепестками, которые слегка закручены по краям и создают мягко сложенную форму. Равномерно расположенные лепестки образуют плоский цветок, слои которого хорошо показывают окраску растения. В каталогах растений они обозначены маркировкой WL. В старых книгах они включены в широкую категорию декоративных георгинов, но в 1980-х цветы получили собственную группу.
