Gamochaeta
Also called Cudweed, Everlastings And Cudweeds
Gamochaeta is a genus of small, woolly-leaved herbs in the daisy family, often called cudweeds or everlastings because their papery flowers keep their shape when dried. It is grown mainly as a hardy, drought-tolerant ground cover or a dried-flower plant, and it can become a weed.
Gamochaeta is a genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae. There has not always been agreement among botanists regarding its status as a recognized genus, but it has become more accepted in recent years. It currently includes many plants that previously belonged in genus Gnaphalium. Like many species of Gnaphalium, many Gamochaeta are called cudweeds or everlastings.
Gamochaeta are native to North and South America, with one species endemic to Tristan da Cunha in the South Atlantic. Some species are found in other regions as introduced species outside of their native ranges, and sometimes as invasive noxious weeds.
