One of our two dusty miller plants grew behind the patio and between the pond and the path. This plant grew much wider this year than last.

The dusty miller plant takes its name from the appearance of its leaves. They appear to have been dusted with white.

Our other dusty miller plant grew on the side of a low hill dividing the path from a yet-to-be-dug pond.

The leaves of this dusty miller plant were a pale green and dusted white. This plant was growing much larger than it did in its first year. Notice the small, young hellebore growing next to it.

The first buds appeared on the top of one of our dusty miller plants. These buds will turn a bright yellow if summer ever arrives.
