Winter colour

righten up the winter garden ‘Senetti’, a new, taller-growing cineraria hybrid with huge heads of daisy-like blooms in vivid blue or magenta, with white centres. Plants grow up to 60cm with a 45cm spread, and bloom right into summer. It is a showstopper in the garden and in containers. Plant in full winter sun or semi-shade. Water regularly so that the soil doesn’t dry out and boost flowering with a liquid fertiliser twice a month. After the first flush of blooms, cut back by half to encourage a second flush. Note that it stops flowering when night temperatures reach 26ºC.
