Artemisia 'Silverado'
This beautifully refined perennial is prized for its finely cut, silvery-grey foliage that adds brightness and contrast to sunny gardens. The softly textured leaves form a tidy, bushy mound that looks elegant throughout the year, even when not in flower. In summer, small yellow blooms appear above the foliage, adding subtle seasonal interest without detracting from its foliage display.
Thriving in full sun, it prefers well-drained soil and is highly tolerant of dry conditions once established. Its aromatic leaves make it a natural choice for herb gardens, gravel gardens and Mediterranean-style landscapes. The cool silver tones pair effortlessly with bold colours, grasses and flowering perennials, creating balance and visual calm.
Low-maintenance and reliable, this plant benefits from occasional trimming to maintain a compact shape and encourage fresh growth. It is ideal for borders, mass plantings or as a soft edging where structure and colour contrast are desired. A wonderful choice for gardeners seeking drought tolerance, timeless beauty and understated sophistication.
