Senecio Angel Wings

Senecio Angel Wings is a tender, evergreen perennial grown for its bold, silky silver foliage that brings strong contrast to containers, raised beds and sunny borders. For best results in Irish gardens, plant in full sun in well-drained, moderately fertile soil and avoid winter wet; in colder or exposed areas, grow in pots that can be moved to a bright, frost‑free place for protection from frost. Particularly effective in coastal locations and other free‑draining sites.

To help give a clear sense of scale, the stone wall shown in our photos measures approximately 265cm in height. We also use familiar garden tools as visual references: a digging fork (110cm tall) and a hand fork (30cm tall). These are included purely as size guides to help you better judge proportions when viewing the images.
