Known for its velvety, silver-gray foliage, Dusty Miller adds a cool, elegant touch to bright garden displays. Its finely cut or lobed leaves provide a soft, almost frosted appearance that complements vibrant blooms like petunias, salvia, and marigolds. While often grown as an annual, it can be a short-lived perennial in warmer climates. Dusty Miller thrives in full sun and dry, well-drained soil, tolerating heat and drought with ease. It’s valued not just for its color, but for its texture and ability to unify a mixed planting.
