Native Americans had all sorts of uses for this plant(both medicinal and religious);but it should be noted, this is not the sage we use for cooking.
I really enjoy their color. It seems like my mum has always grown Dusty Miller in her flower patch. They remind me a little of those. :)
The Meskwaki(the only tribe in Iowa now)were some of the Native Americans who used the plant. They burned it to drive away mosquitos etc. :)
Wow...it is such a pretty plant. Yes..I remember dusty miller too. Thank you for sharing...hope your summer is going well. xoxo
