Silvery structure that does the heavy lifting.
Dusty Miller ‘New Look’ is one of those foliage plants you plant once and then wonder how you ever arranged without it. Tall, thick stems are topped with large, smooth-edged silver leaves that bring instant contrast and calm to bouquets. The texture is soft and fuzzy, the colour a true, luminous silver that plays beautifully with both pastels and saturated blooms.
This variety is exceptionally productive. The more you cut, the more it gives back, making it a quiet workhorse in the cutting garden. Ready to harvest just a few months after sowing, it fills buckets quickly and keeps going all season long. It solves the constant need for reliable, neutral foliage that adds structure without stealing the spotlight.
Because every great bouquet needs a strong foundation.

Seed Sowing & Growing Notes:
Start seeds indoors in trays 10 to 12 weeks before last frost. Seeds are slow to germinate, so bottom-watering is recommended until plants emerge. Seedlings will not appear silver when young, but foliage will color up beautifully as plants mature. Transplant outdoors after all danger of frost has passed.
Harvesting & Vase Life:
Harvest stems once they are mature and firm. Foliage is prone to wilting, so cut during the coolest part of the day. Immediately after harvest, dip the bottom few inches of stems in boiling water for 7 to 10 seconds or use Quick Dip, then place into cool water. Expect a vase life of approximately 7 to 10 days. Foliage can also be dried by hanging stems upside down in a warm, dark place for 2 to 3 weeks.
A hardworking classic that quietly elevates everything it touches.
