Cineraria is a kind of ancient and quirky small flower, often regarded as a cute little fairy in nature, because it is mostly purple or blue, with bright colors and layered petals that are very attractive.

Cineraria is a tender perennial native to Canary Islands. Cineraria seeds require light to germinate, and also called Florist's Cineraria, this perennial is grown as an annual in colder climates. Cineraria is a very compact and mounding plant with a medium-green foliage that is almost completely topped by masses of showy, daisy-like flowers in shades of blue, pink, purple, white, and bicolor.

Planting---

• Timing:Cineraria is typically grown during the cool seasons, either in early spring or late autumn. If you're growing it as a houseplant, you can plant it indoors at any time of the year.

• Location:Choose a location with partial shade to full shade. Cineraria prefers cooler temperatures and protection from hot, direct sunlight.

• Soil Preparation:Use well-draining, slightly acidic to neutral soil. Incorporate organic matter, such as compost, to improve soil fertility and drainage.

• Planting Depth:If you're starting from seeds, sow them on the soil surface, pressing them lightly into the soil. Cineraria seeds require light to germinate, so do not cover them. For established seedlings or potted plants, plant them at the same depth as their container.

• Spacing:Space the plants according to the recommended distance, typically around 8 to 12 inches apart, depending on the specific cultivar.

• Watering:Water the cineraria thoroughly after planting, and maintain consistent moisture. Ensure the soil stays evenly moist but not waterlogged.

Cineraria is widely used as a seasonal bedding plant, and is also terrific for rock gardens, containers, pathway edges, and even can be grown as a ground cover. Cineraria seeds have to be kept moist until germination, and also known as Pericallis Cruenta or Senecio Cruentus this perennial flower likes to grow in shade or partial shade and requires moist well-drained soil. Florist's Cineraria makes an excellent houseplant.
