A wondrous daisy relative that warms the spirit with amazing flower colors in the purple, pink and blue realm, cineraria is a beloved winter and spring favorite. An evergreen perennial that attains a mounding or upright shape, it is a hybrid of plants native to the Azores, Madeira and the Canary Islands. This heat-sensitive plant is usually regarded as an annual plant that is grown in large quantities by the florist industry for indoor enjoyment in the mid to late winter months.
Pericallis Ã— hybrida or Florist's Cineraria is a flowering plant in the family Asteraceae. It originated as a hybrid between Pericallis cruenta and P. lanata, both natives of the Canary Islands. The hybrid was first developed in the British royal gardens in 1777. It was originally known as Cineraria x hybrida, but the genus Cineraria is now restricted to a group of South African species, with the Canary Island species being transferred to the genus Pericallis; some botanists also treat it in a broad view of the large and widespread genus Senecio. Some varieties are sold under the trade name Senetti.
