Organically grown Angel Wings - Senecio candidans in a 9cm pot. A striking, evergreen perennial grown for its soft, silvery-white foliage. Angel Wings forms a low mound of large, velvety leaves with a tactile, cloud-like appearance. Reaching around 40–50cm (16–20in) in height, it adds texture and contrast to borders, containers and coastal gardens. Rarely flowers, but its bold foliage remains the star attraction throughout the year.
Uses
Valued for its ornamental appeal, Angel Wings brings softness and light to planting schemes. A beautiful addition to sensory gardens and drought tolerant borders, it pairs particularly well with bold or dark leaved plants for contrast. With its luminous, silvery white foliage that catches and reflects light, Angel Wings is especially suited to moon gardens, where pale plants create a gentle, atmospheric display after dusk.

Growing Information
Thrives in full sun and well drained soil. Drought tolerant once established and well suited to coastal gardens, raised beds and containers. Protect from excessive winter wet, as this is the main cause of loss. In colder or wetter regions, plants may benefit from shelter or overwintering in a frost free position. Remove damaged leaves as needed to maintain shape and vigour.
Folklore
Angel Wings is not a plant of traditional European folklore, yet it has quickly gathered symbolic meaning through its form and presence. Its soft, silvered leaves call to mind wings, moonlight, and the quiet protection of threshold spaces. In contemporary plant lore, it is often associated with gentleness, guardianship, and calm strength, offering a sense of peace rather than power. Grown close to the home or garden path, Angel Wings is valued as a soothing, watchful presence, a plant that brings stillness, light, and a feeling of being quietly held.
