Valerie Finnis Artemisia

Artemisias are prized for their light, almost silver, aromatic foliage rather than for their flowers, which are dull, yellowy-brown and insignificant. This cultivar has long, pointed, notched leaves and forms a upright, natural mound. Once established, it can also cope with drought.  The aromatic foliage can also be used in dried flower arrangements.  In the photo it is paired with purple iris, a blue spruce and a rock in the University Park Rock Garden.
