Description: Senecio cineraria, also known as Dusty Miller, is a tender perennial grown for its silvery-gray foliage that adds contrast and texture to gardens. The finely lobed leaves have a soft, velvet-like texture and are resistant to deer and rabbits. Small clusters of yellow flowers make an attractive contrast. This plant is often used as a border plant or in containers for its ornamental appeal. It does well in climates with mild winters and benefits from regular pruning to maintain its shape and encourage new growth.
Planting Tips:
- Plant in well-drained soil.
- Space plants 12-18 inches apart.
- Water sparingly once established, as it is drought-tolerant.
- Prune regularly to promote bushy growth and remove spent flowers.
