SENECIO
(Jacobaea) . Purple Groundsel (PurpleRagwort)
(Latin
from senex, old man, refers to gray pappus of
seeds)
In English
gardens one finds a lovely dwarf annual listed as a
Jacobaea, Senecio elegans, which grows less than
18 inches tall and is completely covered with double
purple, crimson or white flowers, not unlike a double
Cineraria of the greenhouse.
UTILIZE.
It is a splendid edging plant and cut flower in such
cool climates as England and should succeed in many
sections of the United States, although it produces
but little bloom and an abundance of foliage in Columbus.
GENERAL.
Seed should be sown in the spot where they are to grow.
The plants require about 8 inches space.
