Senecio halleri ‘Dandy’ | Dandy Ragwort
DESCRIPTION
Senecio halleri 'Dandy' is a distinctive perennial known for its silver-gray, finely textured foliage that provides year-round interest in the garden. In the summer months, it produces clusters of bright yellow, daisy-like flowers that stand out against its soft, silvery leaves, creating a vivid contrast. The blooms attract pollinators, making it a beneficial addition to pollinator-friendly gardens.
Originating from the mountainous regions of Europe, 'Dandy' is valued for its ability to thrive in tough, rocky environments. Its silvery foliage gives it a unique appearance, making it an excellent choice for adding texture and color contrast in rock gardens, borders, or alpine plantings. This hardy and adaptable plant is particularly appreciated for its drought tolerance and ability to maintain its attractive foliage throughout the year.
