The three genera Gonospermum, Lugoa and Tanacetum within the family of Asteraceae include only few species endemic to the Canary Islands. They usually occur in open, rocky spots in full sun in the upper succulent zone. In contrast to related genera (especially Tanacetum species) from the Mediterranean and Eurasia, all Canary species are woody sub shrubs with strongly dissected, feathered, aromatic leaves and ornamental, broad, bright yellow, or white terminal inflorescences on tall woody stems. All are most ornamental pot plants for any rich, well drained soil in a sunny spot. They make excellent, long lasting cut flowers as well. Keep frostfree at a minimum of some 10°C, drier and sunny in winter.
