Plant Profile: Senecio candicans 'Angel Wings'

Angel Wings is a striking succulent characterized by its vibrant silvery-white foliage, which can brighten up any border or container. Once established, it demonstrates excellent drought resistance and thrives both outdoors and as an indoor houseplant. This perennial is suitable for USDA hardiness zones 8 and above, but in cooler regions, it should be brought indoors during the winter months. While its flowers lack ornamental appeal, trimming them can encourage the growth of additional basal leaves.

For optimal growth, Angel Wings requires well-drained soil that maintains low to moderate moisture levels, along with full sun to partial shade. During the winter months indoors, it's important to let the soil dry out between waterings. A yearly fertilization in the spring will also benefit the plant.

This versatile plant can be effectively used in mass plantings, borders, containers, or as a delightful houseplant.
