Verode (Senecio kleinia) - Interesting facts
Dusty Millers are so named because most species in the genus appear as though their foliage is dusted with a white or silver coating. This "coating" is actually a collection of hairs, or trichomes in botanical terms, which cover the surface of the shoots. The mat of trichomes being white or silverish is no mistake either. The light color of the trichomes helps to deflect solar radiation and protect the plant from overheating. Additionally, it is important to note that all parts of the plant can cause abdominal discomfort if ingested.
Verode (Senecio kleinia) - Soil and irrigation
Dusty Millers have a variety of soil needs, but most do best in moderately fertile well-drained soils.
