Senecio X Hybridus

Design with this plant

Overview

Florists' Cineraria (Senecio x hybridus) is a striking winter-blooming annual. With a lush mound of foliage up to 1-2 feet high and wide, it displays vivid daisy-like flowers in shades of blue, pink, violet, and white. Thrives in partial shade and requires well-drained soil. Ideal for cool-season color in beds, borders, or containers. Regular deadheading promotes prolonged blooming. Not drought-tolerant; keep soil consistently moist. Avoid high heat conditions.
