Artemisia 'Powis Castle' is a versatile, drought-tolerant perennial with finely textured, silver-gray foliage that thrives in well-drained soils and full sun. Forming attractive mounds, it adds a soft, aromatic touch to borders, beds, and rock gardens. This herbaceous plant rarely flowers but can produce small, yellow blooms in late summer. Its fern-like, fragrant leaves are especially valuable for xeriscaping and dry gardens, and it is deer and rabbit resistant.
