Senetti | Pericallis
Kick off spring with Senetti! | “a showstopper in any garden”
A showstopper in any garden. Its bright blue flowers instantly elevate the aesthetic appeal, creating a vibrant focal point that draws the eye.
One of the best aspects of this plant is its ease of care. Whether you’re a novice gardener or a seasoned pro, you’ll find it simple to grow and maintain. Senetti provides high impact color when we need it the most. In vivid blues, magic magentas, ultraviolets and stunning bicolors, where else can you find vibrant color early in the season? This plant is not just pretty; it also attracts pollinators like bees and butterflies. These beneficial insects are essential for a healthy garden ecosystem, making your space not only beautiful but also lively.
Pericallis ‘Senetti’ typically reaches a height of 12 to 18 inches and can spread between 12 to 24 inches. This compact size makes it a fantastic choice for both garden beds and container arrangements. Its versatility shines through as it thrives in containers. This adaptability makes it an excellent choice for small spaces, allowing anyone to enjoy its beauty, regardless of garden size.
These plants are cool. One of the best attributes is their love of the cool temperatures of spring. They will grow and flower when the thermometer is in the 35 to 40 degree range, but you will have to protect or bring inside as they are not frost tolerant. Plant Senetti with other cool companion bedding plants in early spring, such as pansies.
Take advantage of their reblooming capabilities. When the flowers start to fade, prune back 50%, replant in a larger container, water, and fertilize. In three to four weeks new flowers will start to appear for a 2nd show. The flowers will stop when temperatures are above 85 degrees.
The Easter-egg colors of pericallis are a joy to behold in the early spring. These easy-care flowers look terrific in containers or flower borders. Compliment your senetti with the dainty flowers of Sweet Alyssum which provide a lovely contrast to the daisy-like blooms of Senetti Pericallis. Perhaps try Dusty Miller with its silver gray foliage contrasting nicely with senetti’s hues.
The plants are also deer resistant. Plant in full sun/part sun and water whenever the soil feels dry to the touch.
