Senetti Plant Profile

Senetti Plant Profile

Senetti (Pericallis hybrid) is a cool-season annual with colorful flowers resemble daisies in brilliant mauve, purple, and blue tones.  They are prolific bloomers. They were bred by Suntory Flowers in Japan by crossing members of the Compositae and Asteraceae families and are Cineraria relatives.

Senetti can live in temperatures as low as 35 degrees and they stop flowering once it reaches 80 degrees. They are hardy to USDA zones 9 to 12.

Plant Senetti in full- to part-sun conditions with moist, but well-draining soils.  Feed them with liquid fertilizer. Do not let them dry out.

They do well in containers and are great paired with other cool-season annuals such as pansies, snapdragons, alyssum, and African daisies.

After their first blooms are done, cut them back by half and enjoy a second flush of flowers a few weeks later.
