It's nestled into our birdbath garden next to some 'Mystic Spires' Salvia. Then again nestled probably isn't the right word, it's taking over its location and almost crowding out the salvia. Truthfully I don't mind if it takes over because it looks really cool. A little planting advice: give it some space!And with the morning sunlight reflecting off the morning dew the silvery foliage almost appears to be frost.
The Details on Artemisia 'Powis Castle':
'Powis Castle' Artemisia is a great perennial for zones 6-8 and likes a full sun location but can take partial shade. It can grow up to 3 feet tall with a diameter of 3-6 feet. Very impressive! Its flowers are insignificant and won't produce viable seed that will be true to the parent plant. All new plants of 'Powis Castle' come from cuttings. If your choice is pruning in the fall or spring, prune in the spring just before new growth occurs. With many perennials the foliage helps to protect the plant from frosts. According to Floridata it is believed to be been a hybrid between Artemisia arborescens and Artemisia absinthium.
