Pericallis Senetti Blue

Common Name:
Senetti Blue

Description:
Pericallis 'Senetti Blue' is a stunning flowering plant renowned for its vivid, daisy-like blooms in deep blue to purple shades, often with a contrasting white centre. A member of the daisy family, it is a cool-season bloomer that thrives in Melbourne’s mild autumn, winter, and spring, providing an early burst of colour before summer annuals take over. This compact, bushy plant prefers full sun to part shade and grows best in well-drained, fertile soil. Regular watering and feeding will encourage prolonged flowering, while deadheading spent blooms promotes continuous blooming. It is an excellent choice for garden beds, borders, and pots, making a striking statement with its rich hues.
