Silvery, finely cut foliage that holds its color through heat and neglect—plant it as a cool-toned backdrop or edge for deeper-hued neighbors. Dusty Miller Cirrus thrives in full sun and lean soil, asking almost nothing in return.

Set out in April or May for season-long structure, or grab a pot in November to brighten a winter container. The threadlike leaves stay luminous even as other plants fade.
