Overview

The Dusty Miller Shrub, Senecio cineraria, is prized for its silvery-gray foliage that provides striking contrast in landscapes. Flourishing in full sun, it has a compact growth habit, reaching 12-18 inches tall and wide. Hardy in zones 8-10, it's drought-resistant once established, requiring minimal care. This perennial is often treated as an annual in cooler climates. Its fine-textured leaves add visual interest, blending well with diverse color palettes.
