Senecio candicans
Senecio candicans is an attention-grabbing plant, with standout architectural form and silver/grey-white foliage, that is surprising in its velvety softness. Versatile enough for use indoors and out, there is a spot in every garden for this beauty.
Cultural
Plant in full sun to part shade, with well-draining soil or potting mix as they do not like wet feet, you can allow the soil to dry out between watering. Fertilise once a year, with slow-release fertiliser, unless in sandy soil. In sandy soil use a liquid fertiliser monthly. Prune back older leaves if they become droopy. While it is a perennial, it does not like frost and in cold areas may need to be pruned like an annual.
Landscape Uses
Use this Senecio to brighten a shady corner, as part of a succulent rockery, or in a sensory garden for their amazing leaves. You could create a low hedge or plant en masse or as a feature plant in pots indoors or outdoors. The colour of the leaves is great in many colour schemes, whether blending in with soft cottage gardens or contrasting against darker green plantings.
