Pericallis is a small genus of about 14 species of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae, native to the Canary Islands and Madeira. The genus includes herbaceous plants and small subshrubs. In the past, the genus was often included in either Cineraria or Senecio.

The Florist's Cineraria (Pericallis x hybrida) is a hybrid between P. cruenta and P. lanata.

Cinerarias prefer temperate climates; in cool areas, treat as summer annuals or winter-flowering indoor plants. They like shade in summer but need more light in winter. Plant in humus-rich, cool, moist, well-drained soil. Indoors, watering is crucial. These plants are susceptible to fluctuations in watering, over watering rots roots and under watering decreases flowering. They need high humidity, but do not wet the leaves. The soil should be well-drained. Grow on the cool side and give plants bright, filtered light.

Note worthy Characteristics:

Plants form a mound, and will be covered with daisy-like flowers when in full bloom. There are named hybrids and strains in an astonishing range of deep and more pastel colors. Many are bicolor.

Problems:

Problems include powdery mildew, gray mold, fungal crown and root rots, rust, viruses, aphids (often serious), mites, whiteflies and thrips.
