Description
Artemisia 'Powis Castle'
Height x Spread: 60cm x 90cm
This plant is often described as a sub shrub due to its growth habit, whereby the stems become woody at the base, but it can be cut down to 5cm and will regrow into a very tidy plant.
It is a foliage plant, great for using in the border as a contrast for flowering plants or bulbs. The aromatic silver foliage is evergreen and the pruning back should be done in early spring. It tolerates dry soils and a sunny position
