Cultivation and Propagation

Senecio ragonesei is a perennial plant that can be grown from seed or division. Seeds should be sown in spring in a cold frame or in trays of compost. When the seedlings are large enough to handle, they should be transplanted into individual pots and grown on in a cold frame or greenhouse until large enough to plant out in their permanent positions in late spring or early summer. Division can be done in spring or autumn. Larger clumps can be replanted direct into their permanent positions, though it is best to pot up smaller clumps and grow them on in a cold frame until they are rooting well.
