Artemisia, "A Garden Designer's Blue Ribbon Winner"

Artemisia, "A Garden Designer's Blue Ribbon Winner"

Posted by Emerald Coast Growers on May 6th 2026

The calming silver-hued foliage of Artemisia adds an airy, cooling elegance to the garden.

Well-placed, interesting foliage is an essential refining element in perennial garden design. Versatile Artemisia's cool, lustrous foliage helps quiet the transition between boldly colored blooming plants or complements a softer, monochromatic theme. It rarely flowers, preferring to shine the spotlight on its petaled companions instead.
