Transplanting Large Artemisia: Timing and Variety-Specific Advice

A Zone 6 Arizona mountain gardener wants to move a large, 5-year-old artemisia that’s outgrown its spot.

Variety Matters

• 'Silver Queen' (tall, airy) – Easy to transplant; almost pull-up-and-replant.
• Other types – May require sharp spade division.

Next Step

Identify the variety (or email a photo to acottagegarden@msn.com) for precise timing and method.

Artemisias are garden sweethearts—their silver foliage is indispensable. Move them correctly and they’ll thrive.
