Senecio macroglossus (100 seeds)

Senecio macroglossus (100 seeds)

Family: Asteraceae

Common names:  Flowering Ivy, madeliefie-klimop, Cape Ivy, Natal Ivy.

It is an evergreen slender, twining but not tendril-climbing herbaceous perennial. It has smooth, thin, flexible branches bearing triangular or five-pointed ivy-like foliage. When creeping along the ground, the branches sometimes develop roots at the nodes. The leaves are a bright glossy green and are somewhat succulent. When broken, both the leaves and stems release a fresh lemony scent.

Sowing instructions: Seed can be sown in spring or during summer, in well-drained soil, but seedlings are prone to damping off and should therefore be sown thinly and treated with an appropriate fungicide.
