Senecio 'Angel Wings' (Senecio candicans) is a standout evergreen perennial prized for its soft, silvery leaves and tactile appeal. Native to South America, this striking foliage plant commands attention in any garden with its shimmering, rounded leaves that feel as velvety as they look.

• Visual Impact: The lush mound of silver foliage brightens hot, sunny borders, rockeries, and patio containers. Its unique leaf texture makes it perfect for sensory gardens and contemporary planting schemes.
• Drought & Coastal Tolerance: Exceptionally resilient in dry conditions and salt-laden coastal air, 'Angel Wings' is a reliable performer where other plants struggle.
• Easy Care: Low maintenance by nature, this perennial requires minimal pruning and is best grown in light, well-drained soils. For regions with heavy winter rainfall, keep it thriving by moving container-grown plants to sheltered spots over winter.
• Planting Advice: Choose a sunny position with free-draining soil. Water young plants regularly until established; mature plants need only occasional watering during prolonged dry spells. Avoid waterlogged sites.
