Dusty miller

Senecio cineraria
Rate and Comment
Dusty miller

Dusty miller is a favorite because it looks good with everything. The silvery-white color is a great foil for any type of garden blossom and the fine-textured foliage creates a beautiful contrast against other plants' green foliage. Dusty miller has also earned its place in the garden because it's delightfully easy to grow, withstanding heat and drought like a champion.

Plant It With


Angelonia

Silvery dusty miller really sets off dark purple angelonia varieties.

For a wonderfully classic combination, try red petunias with dusty miller.

Basil

Though it's not edible, dusty miller is a great way to add a touch of color to the herb garden. Mix it with purple basil.
