Dusty Miller - Key Growing Information
DAYS TO GERMINATION:
Seedlings appear in about 7–10 days at 72–75°F (22–24°C).
SOWING:
Transplants are recommended: sow 8–10 weeks before the last frost. Leave the seed uncovered, since it needs light, or use a thin layer of vermiculite to hold in moisture. Water from below or mist so seed isn't buried. Move seedlings into cell packs or larger containers once true leaves form. Keep the leaves dry where possible and water early in the day to lower the risk of Alternaria. Direct sowing isn't recommended.

Full sun.

Ordinary soil with good drainage.

Space plants 9–12" apart.

A tender perennial in Zones 8–10.

A great bedding plant, a staple of mixed containers, and a useful fresh filler.
