Cineraria Silver Dust, also known as Senecio cineraria or Dusty Miller, is prized for its unique, silvery foliage that brings a touch of elegance to any garden setting. This hardy perennial is cultivated for its finely lobed, felted leaves that shimmer in the sunlight, creating a stunning contrast against vibrant flowering plants. It is a popular choice for adding texture and interest to flower beds, borders, and container arrangements.
The leaves of Cineraria Silver Dust are intricately shaped with a feathery, lace-like appearance. They have a velvety texture that gives them a soft, almost frosted look, making them visually appealing even when not in bloom. Although primarily grown for its foliage, the plant occasionally produces small, yellow, daisy-like flowers in the summer. However, most gardeners prefer to pinch out the flowers to maintain the neat, compact foliage display.
