Artemisia schmidtiana 'Silver Mound'
Perhaps the most well known of all of
the Artemisias, this forms an almost perfect mound of soft, silky,
feathery foliage. It will grow to about 12" high and 3' high and
needs a sunny location and well drained soil to do well.
It will
also need to be cut back hard occasionally to encourage new, tidy
growth. Quite drought tolerant.
