Artemisia Schmidtiana

Design with this plant

Overview

Angel's Hair (Artemisia schmidtiana) is an ethereal perennial favored for its delicate, fine-textured silver foliage. Forming a low mound about 8-12 inches tall and up to 18 inches wide, it offers a striking contrast in the garden. Hardy to Zone 4, it thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, requiring minimal care. Ideal for borders, rock gardens, and as a silvery ground cover that elegantly complements bolder plants.
