Highlights

  • Silver Foliage: Dusty Miller is known for its distinctive silver-gray leaves, which provide a dramatic contrast in the garden and in floral arrangements.

  • Versatility: Dusty Miller is easy to care for and can be used in a variety of settings, including rock gardens, borders, and as a filler in flower arrangements.

Care Guide

  • Sunlight: Dusty Miller thrives in full sun to partial shade, and too much shade can cause the plant to become leggy.
  • Watering: The plant is drought-tolerant, but regular watering is recommended to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged.
  • Pruning: Dusty Miller can become leggy and overgrown, so regular pruning is necessary to keep it compact and maintain its shape. It's also important to remove any yellow or dead leaves to promote healthy growth.
