  • Description

  • Notes

Silvermound is a perennial growing 12 to 18 inches tall and wide, in a dense, rounded, mounded clump. Its foliage is silvery green-grey and very ferny. Used in perennial borders; effective in containers. I admit, there are other artemisias I like so much more than Silvermound, but it is sweet in spring...
