Senecio tropaeolifolius is a South African succulent with nasturtium-like leaves, yellow-orange daisy flowers in autumn and winter, and tuberous roots. It needs well-drained soil and tolerates drought but not soggy conditions.
Senecio tropaeolifolius, which is known as false nasturtium or nasturtium-leaf spearhead is a succulent plant in the family Asteraceae that is native to South Africa.
The plant is hardy to zones 9b to 11b. It can be growing from stem cuttings. It would thrive in containers, such as hanging baskets, and would do well as a groundcover too, due to the cascading and sprawling nature of the stems. Thriving in some full sun to shade, it cannot withstand soggy soils and would be tolerable of drought. It can also be grown as a bonsai specimen.
