The dusty miller plant (Senecio cineraria) is an interesting landscape addition, grown for its silvery gray foliage.
Lacy leaves of the dusty miller plant are attractive companions for many blooms in the garden. Dusty miller care is minimal when the plant is established.
I discovered this plant at a nursery a few years ago. Of course I bought it for the name, Dusty Miller. And I did not know it would bloom these yellow blooms. What a nice surprise. The little things that were, again, unexpected. And the silver foliage is nice in the garden.
Missing the summer blooms, they will return in a few months.

Very interesting flower, I didn’t know its name
ok I am crying foul. I see no Dust on your miller plant.

Funny man today I see. Dusty is all over it. ?
what I can say, dad jokes are my life!
I have had the dusty miller for years, not once has it bloomed.
Really? That is strange. Mine blooms every year. Maybe the climate Dawn.
Very beautiful flowers. Back in my garden in Latvia my roses always surprised me. They were different shades and one day I noticed pink and white roses and that was a surprise
Wow a different colored rose would be a great surprise.
Beautiful flowers, dear Carol ….. the flowers look a little like dandelions
Thanks, they are some of my favorites.
They really are very beautiful
Beautiful plant. I was pleasantly surprised by my dahlias.
Thanks and glad you too had a nice surprise.
