Powis Castle Artemisia is a bushy, woody-based perennial that is primarily grown for its aromatic foliage. The silvery fern-like foliage is finely divided and feathery in appearance. It typically grows to 2-3’ and may reach 3-6’ wide if not restrained. Tiny yellow-tinged silver flowers rarely bloom. Grows best in full sun and well-drained soils. Evergreen in warm winter climates.
