notes
The tiny yellow flowers of Artemesia Powis Castle appear in the autumn, but it is for the exquisite silver foliage, with its beautifully cut, almost fern-like leaves that you plant Wormwood in the garden. Semi-evergreen and frost hardy, it creates the most lovely foil for other herbaceous flowers, especially those with lime green bracts, or purple and pink petals.
Dimensions
- Pot size: 2/3L
- Height and Spread:90cm (2ft 9in) x 60cm (24in) after 2-5 years

Insights
Named after the Greek goddess Artemesia (the Roman huntress Diana), essential oil extracted from the aromatic foliage has been used for centuries for medicinal purposes and slightly more recently to flavour Absinthe. It is a recipient of the RHS AGM (Award of Garden Merit), for all round excellence in the garden.
