Description
Artemisia schmidtiana 'Nana'
Height x Spread: 15cm x 20cm
This low growing form of Artemisia has wonderfully tactile, silver, semi-evergreen frilly foliage.
It will happily thrive in a stony soil in full sun, so a gravel garden is ideal. Very versatile you can use it for edging a path, ground cover or providing a striking foil for other plants in a container, where it will gently trail over the edge. Leave all the old foliage in place until the spring and then prune it back to a tidy shape.
