Senecio cineraria – Dusty Miller

With very different characteristics we have the wonderful small perennial, Senecio cineraria (pictured right) which is a mound forming plant with grey foliage and yellow flowers. Perhaps one of the best ‘Silver Foliage Plants’ it is a great plant for adding texture and colour to the garden border.

Also known as ‘Dusty Miller’, and Silver Groundsel, with soft felty heavily incised leaves, this useful garden plant will reach around .5m.

Flowers in spring are a golden yellow, however it is the year round attraction of the foliage that is the main attraction.

Senecio cineraria – Care

A drought tolerant sun loving plant S. cineraria is at home in a well drained soil in a sunny position. Best grown in a frost free environment.

Excellent in sandy coastal soils where it requires very little care other than pruning back to maintain a bushy habit. For a mass ornamental planting use 1 plant per square metre.
