Description



Our high-quality cineraria seeds have stable high germination rate and neat growth habit. Botanical name Senecio cruentus, cineraria is a classic cool-season annual flower widely used for potted viewing and garden bedding layout. It bears dense umbels of small daisy-like flowers with rich mixed colors, creating a gorgeous full-blooming effect in late winter and early spring.
Cineraria prefers cool environment and cannot withstand high temperature sweltering weather; it also tolerates partial shade, making it ideal for balcony pots, indoor decoration, shaded garden corners and seasonal flower bed arrangement.

It is very popular for seasonal market potted flowers and courtyard temporary landscaping, friendly to novice growers who pay attention to temperature control.
