Growing Artemisia (Artemisia)

Pronunciation: ar-teh-meez'ee-uh

Artemisias are prized for their attractive, silvery foliage, which beautifully sets off both flowers and other foliage in beds and containers.

Light/Watering

Plants thrive in well-drained soil in full sun. Most prefer relatively dry growing conditions.

Fertilizer

Apply a light application of balanced, granular fertilizer in early spring.

Pruning

If needed, cut back shrubby perennial varieties in spring to maintain a compact shape. For varieties that tend to open in the center by late summer, shear back by half after bloom to keep plants full.
