Centaurea cineraria subsp. cineraria

Dusty Miller from @cherylmonson is flowering. Yay!

@of thought Are you here in the U.S.?? Just wondering because I didn't even know the Dusty Miller bloomed... that looks great!!!

@terrimclaughlin Spartanburg, SC. Where they come back yearly. They are known for foliage, but do bloom. Unremarkable compared to plant.

Yes, I leave the blooms on so they will reseed themselves. These original Dusty Miller plants are in their 3rd year. They've lived through snow and ice.

Wow, I'm in NY and thegve come back a few years but never bloomed hmmm interesting

I had no idea they bloomed either! Please post a picture when the flowers open. In my area, I have to replant them each year:(

Lol @kaigia that is the flower open. Then it dries up and goes to seed.
