How to Grow:
Start seeds indoors 8 to 10 weeks before planting. Sow seeds on the surface without covering due to their small size. Water from below or mist gently. Germination occurs in 12–20 days at 24°C. Thin to one plant per cell and grow on at 15°C before hardening off and transplanting outdoors from mid to late May. Space plants 25 cm apart in a sunny or partially shaded location.
Dusty Miller is a reliable choice for creating elegant borders or brightening planters, even in drought conditions.
