Description

The Artemisia arborescens 'Little Mice', also known as arborescent mugwort, is a creeping perennial shrub, forming a ground cover carpet with very finely cut leaves of a bright silvery white colour. 

Cultivated mainly for its highly decorative evergreen foliage, this arborescent mugwort forms a creeping shrub with a habit of 40cm (16in) in height; it is distinguished from other varieties by its silvery grey foliage, cut into delicate lace. In summer, it produces golden yellow flowers of questionable ornamental value.

The Artemisia arborescens Little Mice thrives in warm and sunny locations. It prefers dry and well-drained areas such as rockeries or mineral beds. You can place it near walls and as a border plant alongside thyme, oregano or sage.

It also pairs well with other mugwort varieties in the foreground of flower beds. It is also striking in pots on the patio or a balcony. It is a magnificent plant for a white garden.

Planting and care

Artemisia arborescens 'Little Mice' is a plant that prefers to grow in sunny areas with well-drained, poor and dry soil. It is best to use light soil to avoid shortening its lifespan. This plant thrives in neutral to alkaline soil, preferably sandy and peaty. Once it is well rooted, it can tolerate drought well. You can prune the plant in autumn at its base and also do a light pruning in July to enhance its foliage. It is important to be aware of aphids that can harm the plant.
