Silver Mound is a member of the artemisia family – but without the common artemisia’s tendency to become weedy and take over your garden.

It is a lovely plant used as an accent plant in many gardens.

Like its name implies, the plant appears to be a sort mound of lacy silvery-green foliage.  It only gets about 1 foot tall by 18” wide.  It likes to have full sun most, if not all of the day to thrive.  It is tolerant of hot, dry conditions and poor soil.

Some of its relatives include mugwort, sagebrush, tarragon and absinthe.  It has a long list of interesting relatives.

Consider this well-behaved cousin in your landscaping.
