Senecio decaryi



  Senecio decaryi
 I was given a small cutting of this Senecio some years ago and it has gone on to grow into a metre high shrub. Like others in the genus, the flowers are insignificant, fluffy and sterile. Hard to believe it is a member of the daisy family. The silvery spade shaped leaves are very attractive and are neatly arranged and upward facing along the stems each ending in a pink coloured point.
2017 update: I have limited stock available.

  1. So sorry I can't return the favour and name your mystery plant, after all the help you've given me. As you say, hard to believe it's a daisy...

  2. Hello,
    It is difficult to identify it without the flowers, but it looks like Senecio decaryi.
    I hope it may help.
