This is great, I thought my senetti was dead after some beautiful initial flowering. I know very little about gardening but seeing your video gives me hope I can bring it back to flower!
Thank you , this is my first senetti and I was ready to throw it in the bin !! 😮 so glad I looked at this as it is a beautiful plant when in full bloom
They can survive for several years with repeat flowering three of four times a year, however hard frosts will kill them and I've never got more than three years out of a plant because leaf miner damages them in my area.
Your video gives me hope. I've just bought three Senetti plants for 36 euro, thinking it was a perennial. I wouldn't pay that much if I knew it was an annual. However, I'm in hardiness zone 8-9, so I"ll give your method a go. Thank you for sharing.
My senetti plants were in full bloom - gorgeous, until a hail storm hit. It smashed all the flowers and buds off and some of the leaves. Will try cutting them back as you suggest. As it's only April I'm hoping they will recover. Thanks.
Thanks for this video. I just bought a big senetti from the supermarket reduced to a £1 from £12! Didn’t have a clue what to do with it as it’s all drooping but will give it a good water and cut it all back hopefully get some more beautiful purple flowers 👍🏻
Great video, thanks, saw this after my very first, and now I will run today tonget a few more colors, so wonderfull. Slightly bothering me, is , my plant has instructions, that it is good for full to half shadow placement, but maybe Denmark is a bit warmer than your climate. Supposedly, this plant should be easy to propagate (right word?) by putting cut off branch in water to sprout roots. Do you have experience with that?
I would give it full sun in the cooler months, but in summer I would give it some shade from the midday sun as it doesn't like high temperatures. I would expect it to easily propagate from cuttings, but most varieties are protected by Plant breeders rights so there are legal restrictions to what you can do with the cuttings.
I'm afraid mine's dead but after I saw how much you trimmed off of yours, I'm hopeful it might come back. Mine got too much heat and it looks so, so sad right now!
Cut it back and keep it somewhere cool for the summer, it should recover and flower when the cooler weather arrives in autumn. if you live in a very hot country an airconditioned house might be the only option as they really don't like long hot summers. Keep away from hot sunshine until autumn.
Thanks! I have brought it in and it doesn't look like it's gotten any worse, so maybe it will do exactly like you say... I'm hopeful! It was so beautiful I would hate to have killed it!
Canada is a hot country over summer reaching well into 30 dog heat with high humidity. I was born there and live there on and off . Sennetti care in Canada is not same as Scotland
It takes about a month or two, feed it with a general/balanced liquid plant feed. Then switch to a tomato feed when the flower buds appear. They really don't like hot weather so it will struggle over your summer time, keep it away from strong sunshine if the weather is warm.

Good luck with your senetti, after cutting back it should flower again in a month or two.
thank you I just bought one marked down from Easter and had no idea what kind of flower I bought and came here to learn
Great video showing all stages

Thank you so much for the help! Also the time lapse is great to get to see- thank you! 😊 🌸
very cool effect at the end of this video! Thank you for sharing that it really will come back to life.
Brilliant ....thank you
Awesome! Love the time lapse!
Wow it really did come back full at the end! I got one of these for a planter outside and I’m excited for it more now than before!

As long as you cut them back after flowering and you can protect them from hard frosts they should last a few years.
awesome. Senetti look like an easy plant to take care of. Plus it is absoluteley beautiful.
Its a great plant for lots of colour, especially in the colder months, its a good plant for Scotland as it like cool weather.
What does a good feed mean? Can you guide us a little. The time lapse is amazing.
That's great. Thank you. I'm having a tough time with my senetti right now and this is a tremendous help

wow thats a bargain, it should flower for you again in a few weeks, they respond very well to a hard cut back.
It came back to life with a good watering i was very surprised! Will take your advice and cut it all back when they die off :)
In all honesty, I loved watching the bugs eat your leaves in that time lapse 😂😅
They are fascinating on the time-lapse, although they do cause a lot of damage to my plants.
Very helpful. Thank u

Great video!! Do you think I can regrow mine after I did cut almost all the flowers?
Yes, as long as there are some stems left it should be able to regrow and flower again.

How long does it take it to grow back? What kind of food do I need to U.S.A. Decaturville, Tennessee

Hi is it possible to take cuttings from this plant ?
How long does it usually take for the plant to bloom once again ?
It usually takes about two months, my plants normally flower from April until the end of June, and then flower again around September.
That’s great.
Oh yeah, maybe less profuse? Gorgeous nonetheless ... nice!
