Description
In a garden setting as an ornamental plant.

Growing up to 1 metre tall, it is a clump-forming plant with broad, serrated and ovate leaves that are silvery-white in colour (similar to Senecio cineraria). It produces flat, terminal clusters of yellow-orange flowers in the summer.[3]

Cultivation

It is grown as an ornamental plant for its showy foliage and drought tolerance as a low hedge for borders and in containers. Growing both indoors and outdoors in full sun or part shade, it is a perennial in USDA zone 8 and above. It can be propagated by cuttings.[4]
