Dusty Miller (Senecio cineraria)

Dusty Miller (Senecio cineraria / Jacobaea maritima) is a charming, mounding ornamental foliage plant grown for its stunning, deeply lobed, velvety leaves in a distinctive, eye-catching silvery-white tone — as if dusted with fine silver powder. This unique, cool-toned foliage creates a beautiful contrast when paired with colourful flowering plants, making it an outstanding foil in mixed borders, bedding schemes, and container plantings. It thrives in full sun and is very drought-tolerant once established. Its silver hue remains consistently attractive through all seasons, providing reliable, year-round foliage interest.
