Should I cut Dusty Miller plants?
Comments (4)If the root system is healthy, cutting back that old growth is not going to hurt anything but instead you'll get new bright growth. My neighbor had some.They looked very ugly. About a month or so ago I said to him "why don't you cut them back?" He was hesitant at first but he finally decided to trim them. Now they are healtier,bushier and shinier greenish silver....See MoreDusty Miller plants - beautiful

Comments (0)The 2 Dusty Miller plants I just got are turning green. I planted them about a week ago. They are in full sun and I believe they have gotten enough water from the rains we have had. The soil seems ok. I even added some garden soil around them when I planted them. There are lambs ear in the same area as them and they are doing well. I gave 2 of the 4 pack to my Dad who planted them where there is more shade and his 2 plants are doing a lot better than mine. His 2 even are forming some type of bud on top. Any ideas on what I should do? Too much sun maybe?...See Morefatcatz
