Senetti Plant - Aftercare?

[Spruance]

Does anyone happen to know how to deal with the Senetti plant after it has finished flowering? We have had one in in tub on the front porch for two months now so it has certainly earned its keep (£9) but what happens after the flowers die back? They are not frost hardy so would probably have to come indoors over the winter but what is the best bet until then?

There seems to be precious little information online so any advice would be appreciated.

Hi Spru, we had a few deep blue ones last year which were cut back and overwintered in the GH, they didn't it all make it but we had enough for a lovely display

Spru I think you can give them a good trim, a feed and they will have a second flush of flower from what I have read.

Did you find this ont'internet?

Thanks Jean. Yes despite the dearth of information I do know that the plant is related to the Cineraria which suggests to me that it might be ok in the house especially as my GH is unheated.

Tig, yes I had seen that article but thanks anyway. I'm surprised that there isn't more information available as it is such a useful plant.
