Angel Wings Senecio is grown for the leaves and only the leaves: broad, softly scalloped blades of near-white silver with a nap like velvet. Senecio candicans 'Angel Wings' arrives as a live 4-inch plant and builds into a tidy mound.

Nothing else in a container looks quite like it. Set it at the front of a sunny pot against dark foliage or hot-colored flowers, run a row along a gravel path, or use it as the calm center of a coastal-style bed. It holds its shape all season, wants very little water once established, and really only asks for sharp drainage and moving air. Small yellow flowers may show up in summer, though most gardeners are here for the foliage.

Fun fact: That velvet is a dense coat of fine hairs that bounces sunlight away and slows moisture loss, which is exactly why the plant would far rather be dry than damp.
