Senecio Amaniensis

 

Amani Senecio

Senecio amaniensis is a hardy succulent for container or garden. Sporting spoon shaped leaves, green with intense red to pink edges and flushes, the colour intensifies in cooler climates and winter. It produces orange to red flowers that appear on a spike above the foliage in summer. The Senecio genus includes annual or perennial herbs, shrubs, and climbers that are suitable for the garden or conservatory. Most species have fleshy, glabrous, pale gray green leaves, daisy-like flowers, often yellow. They are widely spread and some varieties are invasive, toxic and considered weeds!

Planting

From Early Spring TO Early Spring

Plant in full sun to light shade and give little to no irrigation but with occasional summer irrigation will hold the leaves on the stems which otherwise fall off. Though often listed for frost free gardens this plant has proven stem hardy to 25° F during our January 2007 freeze. Makes an interesting and wild plant in the garden or in a large pot.
