Description
Dusty Miller (Senecio cineraria) is a popular evergreen perennial grown for its striking silver-grey, finely cut foliage that adds contrast and texture to the garden all year round. Its soft, velvety leaves pair beautifully with flowering plants, making colours appear brighter and more defined.
This hardy plant thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. It is drought tolerant once established and performs exceptionally well in coastal gardens and hot, dry conditions. Small yellow flowers may appear, but the foliage is the main attraction and can be trimmed to maintain a neat, compact shape.
Low maintenance and versatile, Dusty Miller is ideal for borders, edging, containers and mass planting, bringing structure and elegance to both formal and informal garden designs.
