SENECIO ELEGANS
Jacobea. Hardy annual
Among the double varieties, the crimson, purple, rose and white Senecios
take the lead for beauty and usefulness. They are remarkably
accommodating plants, adapted for beds or the greenhouse. Sow early in
pans or boxes, give the seedlings liberal treatment, and
when bedded out
the plants will produce myriads of bright flowers, until frost puts a
stop to them. Any good soil which does not become pasty will suit, and
full exposure to sunshine is essential to the production of a rich
display of colour. In March or April seed may safely be sown in the open
ground.
The Tall Single Bright Rose Jacobea is invaluable as a cut flower for
table decoration under artificial light. It rivals the Star Cineraria in
form and, being a hardy annual, it may be grown with the utmost ease.
