Name: Pericallis hybrids Senetti® Cineraria Spring Annuals
Type of Plant: These cool weather annuals come in shades of blue, purple and pink daisy-like flowers. You’ll find them in garden centers, supermarkets and home centers at this time of year.
Why I Love This Plant: I love that these are a great alternative to pansies. They grow 12 to 18 inches tall and are happy even as the night-temperatures fall into the forties. I also love the bright colors of flowers and the fact that some have white on inner petals and a dark center. Striking and cheerful!
Plant these in pots or boxes, and water them regularly, and grow them in part to full sun.
A Word to the Wise: These are lift-your-spirits plants for spring and early summer. I love them in containers, so I can move them around wherever color is needed.
