Planting & Care

Where to Plant

  • Sunlight: This silver beauty performs best in full sun, needing at least 6 hours of direct light daily to maintain its dense, cushion-like shape. While it can handle light afternoon shade in very hot climates, too much shade causes the stems to stretch and lose that brilliant metallic sheen.
  • Soil: It requires sharply drained soil to thrive and will quickly decline in areas where water collects after a rain. If you have heavy clay, plant it in a raised bed or a container with plenty of grit to ensure the roots stay dry and healthy.

Watering Requirements

During its first season, water once or twice a week to help the roots settle into their new home. Once established, Makana™ Silver is exceptionally drought tolerant and prefers to dry out between waterings. Overwatering or inconsistent moisture often leads to root rot or a "floppy" center, so it is better to lean on the side of underwatering once the plant is mature.

Pruning Tips

Because this Artemisia is a fast grower, think of pruning like a routine haircut to keep it looking tidy. Lightly trim the foliage in early spring to shape the mound and remove any winter tip burn, as it primarily grows on new wood. Avoid cutting back into the old, woody interior of the plant, which can prevent it from filling back out properly.

Fertilizer Needs

Apply a balanced, slow release fertilizer once in early spring as new growth appears to fuel its rapid development. Avoid using high nitrogen fertilizers late in the summer, as this encourages soft, tender growth that won't have time to harden off before the first frost.

Also known as Wormwood, these create mounding, cascading fillers and spillers anywhere you want to catch the eye!

These pair incredibly well with blue and purple flowers, light pink blooms, or set off the contrast big time with bold Purple Smokebush, Black Beauty, or Black Lace Elderberry, and Pandora Ligularia.

Artemisia produces tiny yellow button-like flowers that are insignificant; it's best to pinch them off and encourage more of this divine silver foliage to keep forming until frost! Plus, these incredible plants have that classic Wormwood scent - sharp, medicinal, and herbal!

  • Cascading Silver-Green Foliage

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Artemisia is an annual in most growing zones, but perennial in growing zones 9-11. Northern growers can bring these into greenhouses or sunny porches for the winter. They love the full sun and well-drained, enriched soil.

  • Full Sun & Part Shade
  • Moist Well-Drained Enriched Soil
  • Rarely Damaged By Deer
  • Mulch Well & Prune Early Spring
  • Annual in Cold Climates

The Artemisia Makana™ Silver is a fantastic sterling silvery-green accent plant that you will fall in love with! Order yours today at NatureHills.com before this heavenly new variety sells out!
