With Leaves This Soft And A Display That Lasts All Year, 'Angel Wings' Earns Its Place!

Senecio 'Angel Wings' forms a rounded mound of broad, velvety leaves, bringing texture as well as colour to your planting. Place it within easy reach beside a path or patio seating area. That soft foliage makes it a lovely addition to a sensory garden.

Give it a decorative pot of its own or tuck it among flowering plants, where its silvery leaves make a striking backdrop. It also looks right at home in a sunny rockery.

Once established, it copes well with drought and coastal conditions, making it a useful choice for exposed seaside gardens and sunny spots where watering can be a chore. Small clusters of yellow flowers may appear in summer, but the foliage carries the show.

Choose a sunny, sheltered position with light, well-drained soil or compost. Good drainage is especially important in winter, so avoid waterlogged ground and protect plants from frost, moving pots under cover when needed.

Top Tips
Senecio cope particularly well with salt-laden winds, so is a great option for those lucky enough to live near the coast.
Care Information
  • For best results, grow Senecio in fertile, free-draining soil in a warm position where it can receive full sun exposure.
  • Be sure to firm the soil around the ground once planted.
  • Once ‘Angel Wings’ has fully established, it becomes low maintenance, but will resent colder conditions, between -5C and 1C.  
  • Provide frost protection in all but the mildest wintering areas of the UK. For ease, plant in a cloche, or in pots that can easily be moved to a sheltered location when a threat of frost approaches, such as a greenhouse or conservatory.
  • This plant, which is generally pest-free, does not require any pruning in order to thrive.
  • Avoid wet winter soils, as this can encourage rotting. 
Delivery Information

Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when it's due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
