Cineraria,possibly 'Silver Dust'.It's a good foliage plant,but usually,it is better to remove the flowers..It will withstand a good pruning,and often survives the winter,depending on the severity..Looks good in pots,with Summer bedding..If it were mine,I would trim all that straggly growth off..

You're right Bloomer. They all go like this when left. Mine are in neat round clumps & I chop them back as soon as they get taller than I want.

I love this plant,Feverfew,and for some reason,I don't have it anymore,..I think I need to rectify that !

Hi, welcome to GoY, this used to be called Cineraria maritima, but is now Senecio cineraria, and silver dust is a variety of it, it's frost hardy, and would probably survive a mild winter, but is more usually grown as an annual, Derek.

I didn't know that,Derek..my book is quite old,so this was the only name i knew..why to they hace to keep changing names? I think of Senecio as something different..Confused,com !

Lol, Bloomer, I quite agree, you learn a name, an then they go and change it, Derek.

Hi Bloomer, it's ok, I knew what you meant, soon done, Derek.

Cheers Derek..I blame it on having to type with one hand..as the other is encased in a plaster cast..That's my excuse,and I'm sticking to it ! :o) Roll o Monday when I will be having it removed...no excuses then !:o)
