Senecio deltoideus
Also called Climbing Ragwort
Canary creeper is a slender climbing herb from southern and eastern Africa, grown for its bright yellow daisy-like flowers and triangular, silvery-backed leaves. It does best in a sunny spot with well-drained soil and moderate water.
Senecio deltoideus, also known as Canary creeper or climbing ragwort, is a climbing herb native to Southern Africa and Eastern Africa. Its name "deltoideus" refers to the leaves being shaped like a triangle.
Native to Kenya, Tanzania, Malawi, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Eswatini and South Africa, the plant is generally found in rocky areas within montane grassland, ecotones between forest and grassland, ericoid scrub, riparian zones and along waysides in areas receiving high precipitation.
