Woolly Senecio

A perennial succulent dwarf shrub to under 1′ tall from The Little Karoo desert of South Africa, with stunningly attractive upright cylindrical succulent leaves that are pure white due to the fine white hairs covering all surfaces of the leaves. This plant is known to produce bright yellow flowers on a short terminal stems. Plant in full sun in an open airy location with well-drained soil and water sparingly, allowing soil to dry between watering – it is an easy plant to rot if given too much water or shade. Best not wet the foliage and to be kept drier in winter months. Cold hardy to at least 22 F. Probably one of the most beautiful of the succulent Senecio that can be grown in a well-drained soil or mounded planting or as a very attractive container plant.
