Examples
- Dusty miller or Senecio cineraria has ornamental foliage making it perfect as an annual foliage accent or even part of your flowering arrangement in vases or mixed in summer bouquets.
- While these fuzzy foliage may sound far-out their hushed muzzling feel - notably its finely jagged rag like finger impressions for handling Senecio cineraria in green-houses seems to make plants grow better.
- Senecio cineraria has been a well-known border plant for informal cottage gardens to act as a worthy complement to other garden floral displays.
- Despite an association with ornamental uses as an individual decoration Senecio cineraria may turn into weed near irrigated paths or close to hot steamy areas in plantations that have less hardiness zones.
- Its stiff bright stems are easy to see on the leaf axles with rosettes forming - those of Senecio cineraria appear mostly on leaf stalks with some erect leaves even on partially vertical stems.
