Pruning is optional, but yellowing leaves and flowering sprigs should be removed to keep this plant appearing full and healthy. Dusty miller grows nicely in the ground as well as in a variety of containers. The appearance of the leaves varies depending on the variety; 'Silverado' or 'Silver Lace' have fine, delicate feathery leaves, whereas 'Cirrus' has larger leaves. Dusty miller is poisonous to people, dogs, and cats.

This plant does best in full sun to partial shade. It prefers dry to average moisture levels with very well-drained soil, and will often die in standing water. It is considered to be drought-tolerant, and thus makes an ideal choice for a low-water garden or xeriscape application.

Dusty miller's felted, silvery leaves pair beautifully with bright, trailing petunias or million bells. Also, purple and silver is a pleasing color combination, so consider snapdragons, lavender, or pansies as a great companion for dusty miller. It also looks great with other sun-loving plants like zinnias, pentas, and salvia.
Dusty miller complements ornamental grasses and adds a new texture to the garden. In contrast, basil mixed with dusty miller attracts pollinators, keeps other bugs at bay, and adds a lovely aroma to your garden.

Silver Dust can be propagated by cuttings in the spring when the plants are producing the greatest new growth :
1. Using clean, sharp shears, cut a 6-inch stem.
2. Remove the leaves off the stem.
3. Rooting hormone should be applied to the stem.
4. Moisten a tiny pot with soilless potting soil until the water drains.
5. Place the stem in a bowl of moist potting soil.
6. Maintain moist and warm conditions until new leaves appear, then transplant as desired.

Slugs love to eat Silver Dust plants, especially in flowerbeds that get a lot of water. Handpick the pests or use beer traps to keep their numbers under control. Excessive watering, in addition to attracting slugs, can promote root rot in dusty miller plants. This is a bigger issue with clay soils. You can avoid it by planting your dusty miller plants in pots or raised beds in places with thick soil.
