Dusty Miller grows well here in zone 8a, SC. It does like to be kept on the dry side, and gets limp if given much water. It produces yellow flowers, but most people cut them off, as they seem to detract from the beauty of the plant. Good plant for areas experiencing drought conditions. Mine is planted in full sun and I never water it. It only gets the rainfall we receive.

Dusty Miller has done extremely well for me in soil that tends to be more on the sandy side, and it really performs best with full sun and very little water. In fact, i've been noticing that after it receives a good thorough soaking, it seems to pout. The tops tend to get quite limp, and it doesn't rebound until it's had time to really dry out again. A big plus if you want some pretty silver foliage, with beautiful clusters of yellow flowers, without the hassle of constant watering.
