400x Dusty Miller Silver Dust Seeds – Cineraria Maritima – Hardy Perennial Plant

The hardy perennial Dusty Miller Silver Dust (Cineraria maritima) is valued for its eye-catching silvery-gray foliage, which gives any garden texture and contrast. It is a great option for borders, rock gardens, and pots because of its velvety, finely cut leaves, which give off a delicate, dusty appearance. This adaptable plant likes well-drained soil and grows best in full sun to partial shade. Once established, Dusty Miller can withstand drought and needs little care. Despite being cultivated mostly for its foliage, it also has little yellow flowers in the summer that can be cut off to keep the leaf display looking nice. Dusty Miller is a great companion plant that highlights neighbouring colourful flowers and is ideal for adding interest throughout the year.

Growing Instructions:

Seeds should be sown indoors in seed trays filled with well-draining compost from late February to April in order to successfully grow Dusty Miller Silver Dust (Cineraria maritima) . Since the seeds need light to germinate, lightly cover them. Keep the soil between 18 and 20 degrees Celsius and keep it moist. Typically, germination takes 10–14 days. After the final frost, usually in late May, move seedlings into separate pots to harden off before planting them outdoors after they have several genuine leaves. Select a location with well-drained soil that is either sunny or partially sheltered. Once grown, Dusty Miller can withstand dryness and grows well with little watering.
