Description

aka jacobaea maritima, along with several other synonyms. Captured back on 11/9/07, early morning, behind the middle front gate of our normally congenial condominium complex. A must ZOOM. Dusty miller is Mediterranean in origin and a popular foliage plant grown for its cool, silvery, woolly-felted leaves which provide excellent contrast to beds, borders and containers. It is heat resistant and the foliage is attractive throughout the growing season, often lasting well past the first frost in fall. Small, daisy-like, cream to yellow flowers usually do not appear in the first year. Flowers are insignificant and generally detract from the foliage effect. Many of the cultivars rarely produce flowers. Source: Missouri Botanical Garden I've never seen flowers on the ones in my general area. They remind me a wee bit of reindeer antlers. Ciao, and have a nice day.
