How to propagate dusty miller (silver ragwort)

By Brad & Susan Emery

We have two containers with dusty miller and I’d like to keep them alive through the winter. Although I have read that they have been known to survive our cold winter in our zone, I want to ensure that we have more for our garden next year. One of our containers will be coming indoors, but the other is not, so I think I’m going to try to save it through leaf cuttings. I like this method and I’ve done the same with our citronella and I’ve had some success. So let’s give Dusty Miller a try! There is little I love more than being able to grow more plants from a parent plant. I’d almost call it an addiction.
