Cineraria New Look is a silver-foliage bedding plant with large, deeply lobed, white-woolly leaves for beds, containers and floral arrangements.
Quick Grow Facts
-
Plant Type: Silver foliage bedding plant; usually grown as an annual, but perennial in mild conditions.
-
Scientific Name: Jacobaea maritima, syn. Senecio cineraria
-
General Sowing Time: Late winter to spring for spring and summer planting; autumn sowing can suit mild, frost-free areas.
-
Position: Full sun to partial shade; stronger light gives better silver foliage colour.
-
Sow Depth: Surface sow on moist seedling mix and do not cover deeply.
-
Spacing: 20-30 cm apart for edging and foliage contrast.
-
Germination: About 10-15 days in warm, bright seed-starting conditions.
-
Height: Variable by conditions; allow for a medium foliage plant rather than a low flower.
Why Grow This Variety
- Silver-white foliage gives beds and containers strong contrast.
- Large, deeply lobed leaves suit borders and mixed bedding displays.
- The foliage can be used as decorative material in floral arrangements.
- Established plants tolerate heat and drier conditions.
Garden Uses
Use Cineraria New Look as silver edging, a container accent, foliage contrast in beds or decorative cut foliage.
Growing Notes
- Treat this as the silver Dusty Miller type rather than a colourful florist cineraria.
- Start seed in trays so small seedlings can be managed carefully.
- Plant into free-draining soil and avoid overwatering.
- Remove flower stems when compact, fresh foliage is the goal.
