Jacobaea maritima, formerly known as Senecio cineraria, is a popular ornamental plant that is native to the Mediterranean region. It is characterised by its distinctive silvery-grey foliage that is covered in fine hairs. This plant prefers full sun and well-draining soil, and its striking appearance makes it a popular choice for borders, mass plantings, and as a specimen plant. However, it is important to note that this plant can be toxic if ingested, so care should be taken when growing it around children and pets.
