🪴 Silver Ragwort ‘Candicans’
🪴 Botanical Name: Jacobaea maritima (syn. Senecio cineraria)
🪴 Type: Tender Perennial (often grown as an annual)

Silver Ragwort ‘Candicans’, also known as Dusty Miller, is loved for its silvery-white, velvety foliage that adds striking texture and contrast to garden displays. Compact, bushy, and drought-tolerant, this plant is a go-to choice for borders, containers, and formal planting schemes. While it can produce small yellow blooms, it’s mainly grown for its ornamental foliage, which pairs beautifully with bold flowers or as a cool-toned highlight.
