Water Saving Tip:

Replace turf with groundcovers, trees, and shrubs. If you have areas where no one uses the grass, patches that do not grow well, or a turf area too small to water without runoff, consider replacing the turf with water-efficient landscaping.

  • Description

  • Notes

Dusty Miller is grown for it's lovely, silvery foliage that provides a perfect bridge between flowering seasons and buffers between competing colors. Size and leaf character are dependent on variety. An annual, it is cold hardy and frequently over-winters.
