Florette

Florette is a genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae, commonly known as daisies. The name "Florette" is derived from the French word "florette," which means "little flower." The genus includes approximately 15 species, which are native to Europe, North Africa, and Western Asia. Florettes are herbaceous perennials, typically growing to a height of 10-30 centimeters. They are characterized by their small, daisy-like flowers, which are usually white or yellow and arranged in a flat-topped inflorescence. The leaves are often basal and lobed, and the plant has a woody taproot. Florettes are often used in gardens for their attractive flowers and low maintenance requirements. They are also valued for their ability to attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies. The genus was first described by Carl Linnaeus in 1753, and the type species is Florette umbellata. Florettes are part of the tribe Senecioneae, which includes many other genera of daisy-like plants.
