Senecio cephalophorus (Mountain Fire) 'Orange Flame'
A striking evergreen perennial with velvety, silver green leaves that form a dense rosette, offering year round texture and colour in the garden. In summer, it produces vibrant orange red flower clusters that rise above the foliage, creating a bold contrast that attracts pollinators. Highly drought tolerant and thriving in full sun, it's ideal for gravel gardens, coastal landscapes, or dry borders where its fleshy leaves store moisture. The compact, low growing habit makes it perfect for rockeries or container displays, requiring minimal care once established. A standout choice for adding architectural interest and fiery seasonal blooms to sunny, well drained spots.
