Artemisia, commonly called Wormwood, is a bushy ornamental perennial grown for its silver, feathery, aromatic foliage. This plant is carefree in the garden and smells great in herbal wreaths.
Artemisia has a characteristic fragrance that is useful for making sprays that repel insects. Its roots give off a secretion that inhibits the growth of surrounding weeds. In addition to repelling bugs and weeds, it is deer resistant.
Artemisia plants grow best in full sun with well drained soil; they do not tolerate moist soil. Water moderately—and only in the mornings. For best results, prune in the spring, with new growth.
We guarantee our potted artemisia plants to arrive healthy.
