Artemisia schmidtiana Ever Goldy

(='Gold Leaf') A great colour variation on the popular Artemisia, this forms a low cushion of soft, ferny, aromatic golden leaves. In areas with humid summers, it benefits from a hard clipping just as the tiny ball-like flowers appear, usually in mid to late June. Plants will regrow quickly and remain attractive all season long. Good for hot, dry sites. Nice edging plant, also combines well with other perennials in tubs or mixed containers. Divide every two to three years (in spring or fall) in order to maintain good vigour.
