When to Plant Dusty Miller Seeds
Ten to 15 weeks before your first frost, begin your Dusty Miller seeds indoors. Do not cover your seeds with soil, just press down with your thumb for good seed-to-soil contact. Keep your soil moist and with temps between 65°F and 75°F, you should see germination in just under two weeks. This plant can tolerate some frost, but be sure to plant out your seedlings when temps are at least 40°F to 60°F outside.
How to Plant Dusty Miller Seeds
Once seedlings are established, plant them 10 to 12 inches apart. We are often deceived when planting small seedlings, but these plants will leaf out to about a 9- to 12-inch spread and will need that room for good airflow. Dusty Miller will benefit from a dressing of compost at planting, but it also does well in average, well-drained soil. Once established, Dusty Miller is easily propagated by cutting two- to three-inch stems with a leaf or two and placing them directly in potting soil.
