‘Silverdust’ is a staple ornamental foliage plant widely used in annual bedding schemes and mixed container plantings. It is overwhelmingly cultivated as an annual in most climates due to its speed of growth and prime performance in a single season.
This variety is highly valued for its striking visual texture and color. It forms a uniform, compact mound, growing approximately 8 to 12 inches (20–30 cm) tall and wide. The leaves are deeply lobed and covered in fine, felt-like white or silver hairs, giving them their characteristic “dusty” appearance and making them highly heat- and drought-tolerant. ‘Silverdust’ rarely flowers when grown as an annual (its small yellow flowers are typically pinched off to maintain the foliage shape), serving primarily as a sophisticated, cool-toned contrast to vibrant annual flowers in landscape designs. It performs best in full sun and well-drained soil.
