Planting and Care:

Plant in a well-drained soil in a sunny or partially shaded position. Senecio Angel Wings performs best in free-draining compost or soil and does not tolerate waterlogged conditions. In colder regions, provide winter protection or grow in a container that can be moved to a sheltered spot during prolonged frosts. Avoid overhead watering to keep the felted foliage in the best condition. Remove any flower stems if you prefer to maintain the plant purely for its foliage display.
