Dwarf Schmidt Wormwood, Wormwood 'Silver Mound', Silver Mound Artemisia
Highly popular, Artemisia schmidtiana ‘Silver Mound’ is a compact, semi-evergreen perennial forming a ravishing silky cushion of finely cut silver foliage. Tiny, yellow nodding flower-heads appear in mid or late summer, but they are ornamentally insignificant and are best cut off to keep the foliage at its best. A great choice as a neutral spacer or framing plant, Silver Mound Artemisia is a graceful addition to the landscape, in combination with perennials whose flowers are mostly in the cool color range (pink, lavender, blue, purple, and even scarlet to maroon). One of the few Artemisia that is not invasive by underground rhizomes.
