Centaurea cineraria subsp. cineraria

Love these flowers 💖

Beautiful 💕

Lovely colours Pearl @fuschia

Luvit..

Thanks ladies @kathy @suerichards @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom It goes well with the grey foliage 👌

Looks like poor old dusty is on his last legs 😥. Got top heavy and a large part snapped off. Gone very woody. Any ideas appreciated 🤔🤔

Does it produce new growth lower down? If so I’d be tempted to cut it down to there, this is only a suggestion! It is so pretty Pearl

I’d agree with Kathy...if you’re going to lose it anyway it’s worth a go 🤷🏻‍♀️☺️

Thanks Kathy and Rachel. Will give it a go if possible 👍😜. @kathy @rachelbrooks

Gorgeous flowers on old Dusty . He is covered in them 💜💜💜💜

Old dusty getting ready to pop 😜

Morning all, the sky is the same colour as old dusty here 😉😉

Morning Pearl. Pretty much the same here. Now is it a shorts or jeans day 😂

Morning Pearl. Oh cripes .......hope it brightens up for you. Very warm here and the sun is just coming through :)

Morning Pearl same here thick fog no idea where that came from 🙄

Morning Pearl, blue and cloudy just up the road! 🤔

Hi Fuschia, I hv this plant and just repot yesterday and today the leaves seems withered. It has full sun. Is it the soil too dry?

Hi Sandra @SLee . Mine is in a large pot with other plants. I water it every night in the dry summer but thats all. I do not feed it either. It has been in the same pot for about 3 years. I am in Essex so it's quite mild although I am on the mouth of the River Thames so have sea air. Hope this helps. Grey leaved plants are fine in hot dry areas 👍

Thanks Fuschia for the tips.

Good 'ol Dusty 😁 great foliage @fuschia

Help me identify this plant

@tiggrx can you please help? Bought three of these thinking they were the low growing annuals. They have purple thistle like flowers

I'm pretty sure it's Centaurea cineraria, sometimes called Dusty Miller.

Aw I like that. Dusty Miller. Thanks @tiggrx 👍👍

Really like the foliage
