Senetti Plant
Profile
Senetti (Pericallis hybrid)
is a cool-season annual with colorful flowers resemble daisies in brilliant
mauve, purple, and blue tones. They are
prolific bloomers. They were bred by Suntory Flowers in Japan by crossing
members of the Compositae and Asteraceae families and are Cineraria relatives.
Senetti can live in temperatures as low as 35 degrees and
they stop flowering once it reaches 80 degrees. They are hardy to USDA zones 9
to 12.
Plant Senetti in full- to part-sun conditions with moist,
but well-draining soils. Feed them with
liquid fertilizer. Do not let them dry out.
They do well in containers and are great paired with other
cool-season annuals such as pansies, snapdragons, alyssum, and African daisies.
After their first blooms are done, cut them back by half and
enjoy a second flush of flowers a few weeks later.
