Silverado Dusty Miller is a tender evergreen herbaceous perennial that forms a tidy mound of large, velvety silver lobed foliage. The yellow flowers bloom beginning in the second year in the south, but are usually removed to encourage foliage growth. Flowers best in full sun and evenly moist, well-drained soils. Silverado resists stretching and flopping, is drought tolerant, and has mild frost tolerance.
Syn. with Cineraria maritima.
