Silver Mound Wormwood 1 Live Plant – 1 Quart Pot – Artemisia schmidtiana 'Silver Mound'

Silver Mound Wormwood (Artemisia schmidtiana 'Silver Mound') is a compact ornamental perennial admired for its finely divided, silvery-gray foliage and naturally rounded growth habit. The soft, feathery leaves create a distinctive cushion-like appearance that adds texture and contrast to sunny garden borders, rock gardens, and mixed perennial plantings.

Unlike ornamental perennials grown primarily for their flowers, Silver Mound Wormwood is valued for its attractive foliage. Its delicate, silver-colored leaves form a dense, low mound that pairs well with flowering plants and ornamental grasses. Small, inconspicuous yellowish flower heads may appear during summer, although flowering is not the primary ornamental feature of this selection.

Silver Mound Wormwood generally performs best in full sun and well-drained soil. It tolerates relatively dry conditions once established and is particularly suited to rock gardens, gravel gardens, sunny borders, and landscape areas where contrasting foliage color is desired. Its compact, mounding growth habit also makes it suitable for outdoor containers with adequate drainage.

The plant is supplied as a young perennial rather than a fully developed ornamental mound. Actual foliage density, branching, silver coloration, and overall appearance may vary according to nursery growth and seasonal conditions.

Silver Mound Wormwood is generally deciduous to semi-evergreen depending on climate. In colder regions, foliage may naturally die back during winter dormancy. Plants may ship dormant, recently cut back, or with reduced foliage depending on the season. Flowering at the time of shipping is not guaranteed.

Plant Condition Disclosure:
