Dusty Miller usually survives the winter and continues growing the following Summer. In it's second year, it "goes to seed" (just like parsley) and that is when they send up these stalks and bloom. They do not bloom the first year you plant them--but they are prettier.

I generally do not like the foliage any more in their second year. It looks 'scrubby" and not so powdery white any more. So, I usually yank mine in the Fall.

Mystery solved???? I hope so!

Here's my Endless Summer Hydrangea. Just took this photo today.
