The silvery-white foliage is the namesake trait of the Angel Wings® Senecio. This annual is grown for its broad leaves that add an unexpected flair to an outdoor space. The Senecio candicans stands out, but it also complements other plants, making it a great choice for combination plantings. The large white foliage nicely plays off of bright flowers or the more traditional green hues of other plants or feature this plant on its own to create a memorable, monochromatic planting.
This plant is very easy to maintain and surprisingly durable. The unique foliage is heat- and drought-tolerant, so this plant can easily withstand intense summer weather while looking fantastic. Senecio is a mounded annual that makes for an excellent container plant where it can be used as a filler or a thriller.
Angel Wings® Senecio Care
The Angel Wings® Senecio prefers part to full sun, so select a spot that receives at least 4 to 6 hours of sunlight. This plant requires consistently moist soil, but overly wet soil will damage the roots, so water when the top layer starts to dry out and use well-draining, neutral soil. Feed the plant using balanced, water-soluble fertilizer once a month.
Senecio candicans will die back when the weather turns chilly, or the plant can be brought indoors for the winter. As a houseplant, the Angel Wings® Senecio requires bright sunlight and will need water after the soil has dried out.
Angel Wings® Senecio Spacing
The Angel Wings® Senecio will reach 12 to 18 inches tall and spread out 12 to 24 inches. When used as part of a landscape, space plants 12 to 24 inches apart or feature 1 or 2 plants in a 12-inch container.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
