10 Seeds Dusty Miller Senecio cineraria Jacobaea maritima Silver Foliage Ornamental

Dusty Miller is a popular ornamental plant grown for its striking silvery-gray, finely divided foliage that adds bright contrast to beds, borders, and containers. The soft, felted leaves form a compact, mounding habit that looks excellent from spring through fall and pairs well with colorful flowers.

Often used as an edging plant, in mixed borders, or in patio containers, Dusty Miller provides season-long texture and color interest. Its neutral silver tone blends easily with nearly any garden palette. Plants grow best in a sunny location with well-drained soil and tolerate dry conditions once established.
