Tallest dusty miller for cut foliage.
Candicans is taller and more productive than other dusty miller varieties in our trials, making it a good choice for cut-flower production. Compared to Silverdust, Candicans is taller, more vigorous, a bit more variable in plant architecture, and its leaves are not as deeply lobed. Otherwise, overall appearance is very similar. Dusty Miller's silvery foliage is a very popular cut-flower foliage for elegant bouquets. 3–7" long, velvety leaves with a snowflake appearance. Plants produce yellow flowers the second year from seeding, primarily in the southern states. Flowers are commonly removed to encourage foliage growth. Tender perennial in Zones 8–10.
