This plant is grown primarily for the ornamental value of its foliage, but this is not merely an aesthetic feature: its distinctive colour is due to a dense covering of fine hairs that retain moisture on the leaf surface and reduce transpiration. This mechanism helps the plant cope with drought conditions. In addition to being part of the plant's evolutionary adaptations, the tiny hairs (called trichomes) give the leaves a pleasant velvety texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCineraria cineraria is attractive on its own or combined with other border plants. It can be used to create beds and borders, but it can also be grown in pots to add a unique touch to a patio. Its colour makes it a natural centrepiece in a white or grey garden, and it is also a welcome addition to a \u003cstrong\u003emoon garden\u003c\/strong\u003e (that is, a garden designed to look its best in the evening by the light of the moon).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe plant takes its name from the mythological centaur Chiron, an expert in medicinal plants and the tutor of Asclepius, the Greek god of medicine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eGROWING AND MAINTAINING CINERARIA CINERARIA\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCineraria cineraria is easy to grow, has low maintenance requirements and needs only a few simple precautions. It grows very quickly and is highly \u003cstrong\u003edrought tolerant\u003c\/strong\u003e, and it also performs well in particularly poor and stony soils. It can withstand salt spray and strong winds, making it particularly suitable for gardens near the sea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is also quite resistant to pests and diseases. However, like all grey-leaved plants, cineraria cineraria is very sensitive to waterlogging. The soil must be kept well-drained to prevent excessive moisture from creating conditions favourable to fungal diseases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn summer, cineraria cineraria produces small pink-purple flowers. At the end of the flowering season, it is advisable to tidy the plant by removing faded flower heads. Frequent pruning is not necessary, but it can be vigorously cut back to rejuvenate the plant approximately every three years.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BotanicalDryGarden","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36614329204904,"sku":"","price":19.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0458\/0727\/2104\/products\/botanical-dry-garden-centaurea-cineraria.png?v=1617199088","url":"https:\/\/www.botanicaldrygarden.com\/en-be\/products\/centaurea-cineraria","provider":"BotanicalDryGarden","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
