Artemisia schmidtiana

Artemisia schmidtiana, commonly referred to as ‘wormwood’ or ‘silver mound’, is a perennial from the Asteraceae family, admired for its finely textured, silver-gray foliage and soft, mounding habit. It thrives in full sun, well-drained soil, and low to moderate fertility, showing excellent drought tolerance and resilience in heat. Consistent performance in propagation with quick sticking and dependable rooting. Prefers well-drained soil with moderate moisture, developing strong silver-gray foliage. Minimal PGR use is required, as its natural growth habit produces compact, aromatic plants ideal for landscapes and mixed containers.

Artemisia schmidtiana is often used for contrast in mixed plantings, rock gardens, and borders, offering a refined, airy texture and long-lasting garden structure.
