Silver Mound Artemisia (Artemisia schmidtiana 'Silver Mound') is a popular perennial prized for its finely textured, silvery foliage and compact, mounding habit. Typically reaching 10 to 12 inches tall and spreading 12 to 18 inches wide, it forms a soft, cushion-like clump that adds a striking contrast to green-leaved plants. Though it produces small, inconspicuous yellow flowers in late summer, it's primarily grown for its foliage. Silver Mound thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, tolerating drought once established and requiring little maintenance. With its tidy form and silky appearance, it’s an excellent choice for edging, rock gardens, and mixed perennial beds.
