Artemisia capillaris

Perennial or shrubby. Foliage is sometimes aromatic, often silvery, but always decorative. A must for sunny flowerbeds. With few exceptions, they like light, porous soil, even poor, dry soil. A great alternative to 'Powis Castle', which tends to fade and drop its feathery foliage after 2 years in the garden.

Shrubby with woody branches boasting a thin foliage of a unique grey. The insignificant flowering is best removed to encourage new vegetative growth—the drier and sunnier the soil, the whiter the foliage. Even in rainy weather, it remains grey.
