Artemisia 'Powis Castle'
Wormwood
Currently unavailable
This cultivar is known for its finely textured, silver-gray, aromatic foliage that forms upright, spreading mounds. In milder climates, it retains its leaves year-round and thrives in full sun, well-drained soil, and drought-tolerant conditions. However, it may suffer from rot in overly wet conditions and exhibit foliage decline during hot, humid summers.
