Сенецио Ред Кап

Senecio ‘Red Cap’ is a variety of perennial succulent plants, noted for its brightly colored flower clusters, in deep ruby-red shades, which pleasantly contrast with the gray-green leaves.

It is a long-day plant, which blooms abundantly during sunny periods and is valued for its excellent drought tolerance, as well as for its overall ornamental appearance – fleshy and compact foliage, brightly colored flowers, and a low-growing habit.
