The striking foliage of Cineraria ‘Silver Dust’ adds dramatic accent colour and contrast to a garden design. The perfect companion to allow bold or dark-coloured companion plants to really shine. The velvety, fern-like leaves are brilliant to build texture as well as contrast and they look fabulous paired with green or deep purple foliage.
Take special care as this seed is very fine. Spread thinly and press lightly (as seeds need light to germinate) into trays of Yates® Black Magic® Seed Raising Mix. Water with a fine mist spray. Keep trays in a warm place and retain moisture by covering with glass or plastic cling wrap. Transplant when large enough to handle.
Choose a semi shaded position in well drained soil. Plants grown in shady conditions display the most intense colours. Add Yates® Thrive® Natural Blood & Bone before planting. Water moderately and feed with Yates® Thrive® Flower & Fruit Soluble Plant Food regularly. Protect from snails and slugs.
Store in a cool dry place away from direct Sunlight. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
