Doronicum

Doronicum is a genus of flowering plants in the sunflower family, known as leopard's bane.

[2] They are all herbaceous perennials native to Europe, southwest Asia and Siberia.

[3] The plants typically thrive in cool, mountainous regions and prefer well-drained soil with partial to full sunlight exposure.

Due to their bright and vibrant flowers, Doronicum species are often cultivated as ornamental plants in gardens, particularly for early-season color.

[4] Although the genus is often classified in the tribe Senecioneae, there is evidence that a classification elsewhere in the subfamily Asteroideae may be more appropriate.
