| I have 2 large planters that I plant with annuals, which gets morning sun, afternoon shade. I usually plant with lobelia, begonia, violas, coleus or caladium. I'd like to try some dusty miller this year, I love the silvery white foliage and use them in other spots that get full sun. Would they do well in the morning sun only planters? I always like to mix flowering and foliage plants, but the deer eat my caladiums and I want something other than coleus. The white dusty miller just goes so beautifully with everything. Will it do well with morning sun? |

| What will probably happen is that the DM will become a bit elongated, but the characteristic that you'll really hate is that the foliage is likely to green up more than you like. Full sun is needed for DM to maintain that white fuzz. But, try it! You might get more sun than you think. |

| defining shade by words.. is near impossible ... so all you are left with.. is giving it a try ... whats to lose ... they arent going to die due to reduced light ... they just might not perform to specs .. go for it .. we learn nothing new.. by not trying .... ken |
