The Plant Sentry Compliance Officer works closely with NatureHills.com and each nursery or fulfillment center to ensure only compliant plants are sold to customers.

Senetti® Cineraria varieties are dramatically different from old-fashioned Cineraria. They offer superior cool weather garden performance, durability and vigor! That means more options for gardeners to find new and exciting locations for these bright flowers! Once the spring flush of blooms is done, prune them off and enjoy a rebloom once summer’s heat is through!
Blooming until the summer heat kicks in, southern gardeners can bring these indoors as summer flowering plants or keep them in a filtered sun porch. Northern gardeners can use these like Pansies as annuals, or bring them in for the winters as easy-care houseplants!
Planting and Application:
Blue Bicolor is as vibrant as the pollinators that stop by for the welcome nectar resource! Add fresh color to any lightly sunny or shady location in the landscape! For huge impact, use rows of line garden paths, edge garden beds and add incredible color to your foundation or around your mailbox garden! Compact, neat and tidy plants that work great for yards of all sizes!
Cineraria look fantastic with spring-flowering bulbs! They are bright beacons when planted throughout perennial borders and cottage gardens, while you wait for later emerging plants to wake up from winter. Cheerful gift plants, easy-care flowering houseplants, and vibrant accents and thrillers in cool-season hanging baskets and patio planters!

#ProPlantTips for Care:
Cineraria handle full sun in cooler summers, and partial, filtered sun in the hot growing zones. They need regular watering and well-drained soil. Provide a thick mulch layer to keep the roots cool and hydrated. Deadhead and prune after flowering to keep blooms returning!
- Filtered Sun & Partial Shade
- Requires Consistently Moist Well-Drained Soil
- Mulch For Moisture Retention & Cool Roots
- Rarely Damaged By Deer
- Deadhead Often, Prune After Flowering
