Centaurea ragusina 'Silver Swirl' 3ltr

Centaurea ragusina 'Silver Swirl' – also known as Dusty Miller or Snowflake Dusty Miller – is a striking foliage perennial, valued for its stunning silver-white, deeply lobed leaves with attractive wavy edges. The velvety, finely textured foliage creates a wonderfully lacy, eye-catching effect, adding brightness, texture, and contrast wherever it's planted. In summer, small yellow flowerheads appear, though this variety is prized chiefly for its striking silvery foliage.

Forming a neat, compact mound, this variety reaches a height of around 20–30cm with a spread of 30–35cm, making it a lovely choice for borders, rockeries, or as a filler in mixed containers and hanging baskets, where its pale colouring works beautifully alongside bright flowering plants.

Centaurea 'Silver Swirl' thrives in full sun to partial shade, in free-draining soil, and is drought-tolerant once established. Low-maintenance and reliably rabbit-resistant, it's a hardy, easy-care choice for a variety of garden settings.

Each Centaurea ragusina 'Silver Swirl' has been carefully hand-selected to ensure it reaches you in excellent condition, ready to bring its shimmering foliage to your garden.
