Diamond Dusty Miller

Aka: Silver Ragwort

Size: 6 inches to 1 1/2 feet tall and wide

Lighting requirements: Full to part sun (I've seen it do well in shade)

Seasonal interest: Silvery foliage and yellow blooms in the spring (although, we don't see the blooms often)

Winter: Stays around usually looking pretty good

These are great plants to add to mixed planters or used when contrast is needed in flower beds. Mass plantings can be beautiful!

Be aware that Dusty Miller can be a skin irritant. 

Fun fact: Taxonomists are the scientists who classify plants and animals. Their job is never done. We can thank Carl Linnaeus for laying the foundation for the system used for classifying organisms on the basis of shared physical characteristics.
