Silverdust (Cineraria Maritima) features silvery-gray, finely cut foliage that adds a striking contrast to gardens. It thrives in cool to mild weather, prefers full sunlight, and grows well in 8–10-inch pots or borders. Native to the Mediterranean, this drought-tolerant plant is ideal for edging and mixed plantings.
