The silky texture and striking color make this variety a standout in borders, containers, or mixed plantings, providing a stunning contrast to more vibrant flowers or darker foliage. Its architectural form and soothing palette add a modern yet timeless elegance to any space.
Thriving in sunny locations, Senecio 'Angel Wings' is drought-tolerant and well-suited to hot, dry conditions, making it an excellent choice for low-maintenance gardens or water-wise landscapes. Pair it with pastel blooms for a serene, harmonious look, or use it alongside bold, jewel-toned flowers to create a dramatic contrast. Its compact habit and striking foliage also make it a fantastic choice for patio containers, where its soft beauty can be admired up close.
Easy to grow and highly versatile, Senecio candidans 'Angel Wings' is more than just a foliage plant—it’s a statement piece. Whether used as a focal point or to soften a planting scheme, its unique silvery leaves bring light, texture, and sophistication to your garden throughout the growing season.

Useful information
-
Soak the Senecio 'Angel Wings' roots in water for 3-6 hours prior to planting
Plant your "Shining-white ragwort" bare roots into temporary pots with a multipurpose compost within a week of delivery and grow-on in a sheltered spot outdoors
Choose a pot which comfortably fits the bare roots. Some have a noticeable crown which should be just below the soil surface with any top growth exposed. Some varieties are a length of root which should be planted lengthways and shallowly (1-2cm deep).
Plant out into borders or permanent containers in late spring or early summer once in full growth. Choose a position in sun or shade depending on the variety.
