A genus of plants (also called dusty miller) characterized by their ash-gray or silvery foliage.
From Latin 'cinerarius' (relating to ash) combined with a plant genus suffix. The name refers to the distinctive ash-gray powder covering the plant's leaves.
Cinerararia's dusty-looking leaves actually contain tiny hairs that make them glow silver—nature's own insulation system that helps desert and coastal plants reflect harsh sunlight and conserve water.
