There are 6 species and 12 subspecies native over a wide area of Europe and Asia. The shrubs reach 0.5–6 m tall, rarely up to 10 m in central Asia, and typically occur in dry, sandy areas. They are tolerant of [[sodium chloride|salt]] in the air and soil, but demand full sunlight for good growth and do not tolerate shady conditions near larger trees.
