About the Dusty Miller

Classic, grey to silver, fuzzy foliage, bedding plant that is the perfect complement planted with any sun loving annual to soften its color or texture. Excellent performer in the garden or in mixed containers, frost tolerant, and during mild winters may return in spring.


Care Notes

Grow in sunny areas, well-drained, amended soil or containers. Feed with a slow release fertilizer, Osmocote® or Plant-tone®. Follow label instructions. Trim as needed to maintain a tidy habit. Mulch 2″ to suppress weeds, retain moisture and protect against extremes of soil temperature.
