I am Senecio Mandala Series. My family originated from the Canary Islands.
HabitShrub - Long Flowering
Plant familyAsteraceae
I am a series of compact hardy plants with dark green upright foliage and striking daisy-like flowers in a variety of bright colours.
“Mandala” refers to geometric design that draws attention to the centre and I certainly draw attention.
Flowering from spring through summer I come in a variety of colours including Blue Charme, Peach, Pink Bicolour (two-tone pale and dark pink), Purple and Salmon, and Mandala Plus Blue Charme (blue with pale circle around the centre), Plus Rose Charme (pink-Burgundy with pale circle around the centre), Plus Royal Blue (very deep blue), Plus Sky Blue (with pale circle around the centre) and Plus Violet Bicolour (with pale circle around the centre).
I work well incorporated into rock gardens, borders, or mixed containers.
I perform best in a part sun/part shade position in rich, well-drained soil. Ensure that you protect me from frost.
To keep me looking at my bets, remove my old foliage and spent flowers and apply a good quality liquid fertiliser regularly.
Caution: Harmful if eaten
