Seafoam Curlicue Sage Brush

Seafoam curlicue sage is a low, spreading Artemisia grown for its unusual, tightly curled silver foliage and fine texture. Small yellow flower spikes may appear occasionally, but the foliage is the main garden feature. ## Landscape use Use this compact perennial as a small-scale groundcover, in rock gardens, at the front of a sunny border, or between taller perennials where its pale foliage adds contrast. High Country Gardens identifies the plant as Artemisia versicolor ‘Seafoam’ and describes its curled silver leaves, low mounding habit, occasional yellow flower spikes, and use in hot sunny areas.

It is suited to dry garden conditions and may spread underground; allow room for its lateral growth or remove stems that extend beyond the intended planting area. Avoid hot, humid sites, where the foliage may decline.

Published hardiness listings range from USDA zones 4–10; local winter drainage and exposure can affect performance.

Remove spreading stems when they move beyond the desired area; routine deadheading is optional.
