Senecio candidans – ‘Angel Wings’

Description

Senecio candidans Angel Wings ‘Senaw’ is an unusual and eye-catching evergreen perennial with huge silvery or grey-white leaves. The leaf texture is soft, downy, almost velvety and irresistible to touch. This plant is all about foliage – yellow flowers may be borne, but rarely.

Free-draining soil is essential as silvery hairy-leaved plants are drought tolerant. They thrive in full sun but won’t tolerate moisture-retentive ground. Grow in a border, raised bed, rockery or in a pot. Allow plenty of room for the large leaves to develop: Senecio candidans Angel Wings ‘Senaw’ has a height and spread of 45cm. It’s suitable for growing in coastal locations.
