| Common Name(s): | Artemesia – Powis Castle | Color: Yellow Plant Form or Habit: Evergreen woody perennial, or shrubFoliage Color and Texture: Leaves are finely dissected like filigreed silver lacework. Silvery gray foliage. Aromatic, lace-like; blue-gray foliage; berries are beautiful. Additional comments: Powis Castle benefits from pruning to keep it in a compact mound. But don’t prune in fall; prune when new growth starts in spring. Has a tendency to up and die rather unexpectedly. Non- Native – adapted. 36” x 30” wide, (cutting propagated). This is a very underused ornamental sage. With dissected silver- gray foliage, it is the perfect companion plant to use with other flowering perennials and ornamental grasses to bring out interesting contrasts of leaf color and texture. It almost never flowers, thus maintaining its neat appearance with no extra effort. Not at all fussy as to soil type |
