Instructions:

Dusty miller are a great beginner-friendly plant. To sow the seeds, sow them 1/4" deep in soil, keep them warm, out of direct sunlight, and moist. Since this is a variety mix, some seeds will germinate more slowly than others, so give them time to sprout! If growing outdoors, start the seeds indoors 12-16 weeks prior to the last frost so they can be transplanted outdoors. If their growth is leggy, or their color lacks that silvery-frosted tone, they likely need more light. Zones 7-10.
