This low mounding tender perennial grows about 10 inches tall and wide, making it perfect for the front of your garden, borders, or container planting. We love its silver, velvety texture and how it compliments pastels while contrasts with bolder colors, looking equally strong in either situation. Holding up well in floral arrangements, add Dusty Miller leaves to your vases, bridal bouquets, and fall arrangements.

    Overall rating: 3.5 / 5 from 2 reviews.

    Not a great germination rate and they are still so tiny. I wish I started these much earlier in 5b.

    Dusty Miller Seeds - Silverdust

    Store owner replied: Hello Mallory. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. In cooler climates, like Zone 5b, these plants can sometimes start off slowly, and seedlings may remain quite small early on while they establish their root systems. Starting them earlier indoors with warm temperatures and plenty of light can often help encourage stronger growth. We’re glad we were able to provide a resolution and appreciate you giving them a try. Thank you again for growing with us and know that we stand by our seeds and are always happy to help!

    Came quickly…packed nice. It would be very nice if they would list how many seeds came in a packet.
