Dwarf Schmidt Wormwood, Wormwood 'Silver Mound', Silver Mound Artemisia
Silver Mound is fine in the full- sun border or rock garden where the soft sheen of its foliage makes a striking contrast to flowers and other foliage in a wide range of hues. Easy to grow, Silver Mound prospers in dry heat and average soil. Feel free to shear it back if excess moisture makes it look scraggly; new growth will come quickly to keep it neat at about 6" high all summer. Plant 18" apart.
