During the blooming season, which is springtime, orange-colored starry-shaped flowers adorn the top of the stalks. About three to five in number, the daisy-like flowers are a show stopper.

Propagation
This variety of Senecio can be propagated directly from seeds or cuttings.
Woolly Senecio is a good option for groundcover in your succulent garden. When it flowers, the entire look-and-feel can change. Add it to your outdoors, or send it out as a gift to your loved ones!
