Artemisia Ludoviciana Valerie Finnis | 9cm Pot

A silvery-grey foliage, semi-evergreen herbaceous perennial. Position: full sun Soil: well-drained, fertile soil Rate of growth: average Flowering period: August to September Hardiness: fully hardy Named after the notable plantswoman and garden designer, this ‘white sage’ is highly valued for its new, argent young shoots, A clump-forming herbaceous perennial with lance-shaped, woolly-white leaves with jagged margins are aromatic when bruised. Tiny, mimosa-like white flowers tower from the semi-’evergreen’ foliage but we recommend removing them and enjoying the plant for what it is – a magnificent and drought tolerant (once established), ground-covering foil for pastel pinks, yellows, or other Mediterranean, cottage, and herb-themed flowering plants. Garden care: Ensure good drainage when planting as the plant can die back in heavy, poorly-drained soil. Give it space to spread out. Cut back stems to ground level in autumn and apply a generous mulch of well-rotted garden compost or manure around the base of the plant. Divide large clumps in early spring.
