How to fertilize Silver Ragwort
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Silver Ragwort after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

My dusty miller has become very fragile. The leaves at the bottom are shedding and the plant is not sturdy enough as it was before . Could it be due to more watering ? #PleaseDontDie #DustyMiller

Droopy and Curled Leaves Hello, I am new to gardening. I have 3 outdoor pots with a mixture of dusty miller, lobelia, and geraniums in each. I spot water the lobelia as to not over water the other two plants. I’ve noticed today that my dusty miller is looking quite anemic - limp soft leaves, droopy, and curled in. I gave it a small drink today as it has not been watered in a few days. Any suggestions as to what might be the cause? #DustyMiller

Dinky one of my cats enjoying the shade under our walkway arbor. 😼🌿 #CatsOfGreg Enjoying my mom’s beautiful garden today ! This is our fourth year, & I’m so impressed by how big and established our perennials have gotten! It gets better and better every year. We of course have added/joined more garden beds, & we had two huge gumball trees cutdown. Our hostas, hydrangeas, rose of Sharon and ferns (all plants that are hardy too our area) are so big! Here are some photos of some dusty miller flowers, balloon flowers (one of my faves), and some mulch I laid for my mom in one of our garden beds! The mulch really tied it all together (5th picture) #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #OutdoorGrowing #OutsidePlants #DustyMiller #BalloonFlower #NewGrowth #Hosta #PlantTherapy #flowerpower #Perennial #PetsOfGreg #catsandplants

Its silver color is so unusual. Looks great outside and will come back after a long cold winter. Looks great inside too . I planted some around my Dumbcain and it looks spectacular.
