cineraria

Ashy-leaved houseplant

Cineraria is a flowering plant with clusters of daisy-like blooms in vivid purples, pinks, blues, and whites, popular as a houseplant or garden ornamental.

The name comes from the ashy gray down on the leaves of some species.

The florist recommended cineraria for a burst of winter color.
