Senecio doria

Towering stems of rich golden-yellow daisy flowers give Senecio doria remarkable presence in a border.This striking perennial produces broad foliage at the base before sending up tall flower stems crowned with glowing blooms that attract pollinating insects throughout summer. Its upright structure works beautifully among ornamental grasses and late-season perennials, adding height without heaviness and bringing warm colour into mixed planting schemes. Despite its bold appearance, the flowers have a relaxed, meadow-like quality that suits naturalistic gardens particularly well. The strong vertical lines also make it valuable for adding contrast against softer mounding plants. Whether planted in drifts or used as a single specimen, Senecio doria delivers dramatic colour and architectural interest over a long season. Ultimate height: 1.5m (4.9ft). Ultimate spread: 60cm (24in).Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.
