I have dusty miller whose stems are leggy and weak laying down on the ground. The leaves still look nice from afar but somewhat really messy when you get near to the plant. What’s the maintenance for this plant this season? Can I prune it? How to keep it look beautiful and healthy?

Hello

yes this is a lovely plant that does tolerate being trimmed back when it becomes leggy and droopy in the summer months. It does not like to be overwatered after its roots are established and will survive quite well when left to dry out.
hope this helps

Dusty miller care may involve a midsummer trim if the plant becomes leggy. The dusty miller flower may be removed to keep the plant compact.
