Artemisia schmidtiana is a low-growing, semi-evergreen perennial that forms a dense, rounded cushion of shimmering silver foliage. Its finely dissected, silky leaves provide a soft, tactile texture that excels as a neutral spacer or edging plant in rock gardens and borders. Thriving in full sun and well-drained, even poor soils, this drought-tolerant species is remarkably deer and rabbit resistant. It maintains a compact habit, reaching about one foot in height and spreading slowly to fill gaps.
