Senecios comprise over a thousand species of perennial, succulent and evergreen shrubs. Often characterised by silver-grey foliage, ornamental senecios are mostly native to the Southern Hemisphere. They are appreciated for their very bright vegetation and their adaptations to dry soils.
More or less hardy, like Senecio greyi Sunshine which can withstand temperatures as low as -10°C (14°F), or Senecio mandraliscae, these plants particularly thrive in coastal areas and Mediterranean gardens. They belong to the Asteraceae family, just like asters, and produce flowers organised in heads that resemble small yellow or white daisies depending on the species and varieties. Not very tall, with a nice dense and rounded habit, shrubby senecios naturally blend in, in a dry garden or on a large rockery, with plants from the scrubland such as lavenders, rosemary, and rockroses.
To make them stand out in a flower bed, they can also be mixed with purple foliage. The bright pink or red flowers of shrubby salvias are perfectly highlighted, from spring to late autumn, by all the grey foliage.

The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:
- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
