Perennial
Senecio inornatus is a tall, robust plant that does not go unnoticed in any grassland or wetland.
Plant Description

Senecio inornatus is a tall, robust plant that does not go unnoticed in any grassland or wetland. These solitary plants are often much taller than the surrounding grass and in moist areas large numbers of plants often dominate the landscape; their bright yellow flowers and honey-like scent attracting many insects.

Senecio inornatus is not really a garden plant, but could be used when wetlands are restored.
