Cineraria Silver dust 7.5cm pot

The mature plants will grow from 15 cm to 60 cm (6 inches to 24 inches). They prefer full sun, but will tolerate light shade, and also prefers average to rich well-drained soil.
Centaurea cineraria will produce small white or yellow flowers in summer, but these are usually trimmed because the plant is normally grown as foliage.
Depending on climate, it can be grown as either an annual or as a perennial.
C. cineraria is polymorphic in several characters, and the high variation within populations gives rise to many subspecies which causes C. cineraria to be referred to under a wide variety of different synonyms.[5]
Common cultivars include:'Silver Dust', 'Silver Lace' and 'Cirrus'. The image above the scientific classification is a plant of the 'Silver Lace' cultivar.
