Why You’ll Love It

Artemisia ‘Silver Queen’ is prized for its striking silvery-white foliage that provides year-round colour, texture, and contrast in any garden. The finely divided leaves create a soft, flowing appearance, making it perfect for borders, rockeries, or mixed perennial plantings. Its low-maintenance, drought-tolerant nature makes it a reliable choice for sunny spots, while the neutral tone of the foliage complements vibrant flowering perennials and ornamental grasses beautifully.

Planting & Care Tips

• Plant in full sun

• Prefers well-drained soil; avoid heavy or waterlogged conditions

• Water sparingly once established

• Trim lightly in late winter or early spring to maintain shape and encourage fresh growth

• Ideal for pairing with bold perennials or grasses to highlight contrast
