Püsikeses

Püsikeses is a genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae. The name is derived from the Latin word "perennis," meaning perennial, referring to the plant's ability to live for more than two years. These plants are native to various regions of the world, with a significant presence in the Northern Hemisphere.

Püsikeses species typically exhibit a herbaceous growth habit, often forming clumps of foliage from which flower stalks emerge. The leaves are usually simple, though some species may have lobed or toothed margins. The flowers are characteristic of the Asteraceae family, commonly appearing as daisy-like heads with ray florets surrounding a central disk of tubular florets. Flower colors can vary widely, including shades of white, pink, purple, and yellow, depending on the species and cultivar.

These plants are generally known for their hardiness and adaptability, thriving in a range of soil types and light conditions, though many prefer well-drained soil and full sun. Püsikeses are popular in gardens for their long blooming periods and their ability to attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies. They are also used in traditional medicine in some cultures, though scientific evidence for medicinal efficacy varies. The genus includes a diverse array of species, each with unique characteristics and growing requirements.
