Understanding Plant Options

Nature Hills offers plants in two main formats:

Container Plants: Grown in pots with soil, sized by container volume and plant age
Bare Root Plants: Dormant plants without soil, sized by height measurements

Planting & Care Instructions

Where to Plant

Sunlight: This plant craves full sun, meaning at least 6 hours of direct light daily, to maintain its signature ghostly silver color. Without enough sun, the stems will stretch, flop over, and the foliage will turn a dull green.
Soil: Excellent drainage is non-negotiable for Artemisia; it thrives in "lean" or sandy soils and will rot quickly in heavy, wet clay. If your soil holds water, plant this in a raised bed or amend the site with grit or gravel to keep the roots dry.

Watering Requirements

Water consistently during the first growing season to help the roots establish, letting the soil dry out slightly between waterings. Once established, GardenGhost® is highly drought-tolerant and prefers to stay on the drier side, so avoid overwatering to prevent root rot and floppy stems.

Pruning Tips

Clean up the old, dead foliage in late winter or very early spring to make room for the fresh silver growth emerging from the base. If the plant spreads open in the center or looks ragged during the heat of summer, give it a "haircut" by shearing it back by one-third to encourage a flush of tidy new leaves.

Fertilizer Needs

Go easy on the fertilizer, as too much nitrogen forces rapid, weak growth that causes the plant to fall over. A single light application of a general-purpose garden fertilizer in early spring is plenty, or simply rely on a top-dressing of compost.

GardenGhost™ Artemisia (Artemisia ludoviciana 'G19123') is a gorgeous silver-flocked accent perennial that will add soft tones and aromatic beauty to your landscape! The silver leaves are flattened with toothed edges and have that classic Wormwood scent - sharp, medicinal and herbal!

These plants produce frosted clumps of leaves and are densely branched. All surfaces seem flocked in silvery white down and they are as touchably soft as they look! The foliage has a wonderful aroma and the tiny blooms that might appear are attractive to pollinators. They pair incredibly well with blue and purple flowers and light pink blooms. Or set off the contrast big time with bold Purple smokebush, Black Lace Elderberry, and Pandora Ligularia.

GardenGhost™ Artemisia is an unexpected plant to include in your sun garden! Hardy throughout USDA growing zones 4 - 8, these are cold and heat-tolerant perennial plants! Forming silver mounds 12-14 inches tall and spreading evenly to a 24-30 inch rounded clump of finely-textured foliage!

Planting and Application:

GardenGhost™ Artemisia has fragrant foliage that perfumes the air as you brush past it! Be sure to use these tidy, mounded perennials along a pathway or walkway. They'll look great surrounded by dark mulch and clean up the edges of garden beds and borders! Add a formal touch by evenly spacing these plants along a border garden.

Plant in containers as silvery filler among mixed planters, or elevate them in a high-styled pot as a spiller! The spreading nature is wonderful groundcover and living mulch throughout any type of sun garden! Plant in Moon Gardens, Rock Gardens, and modern courtyards. Or add lacy, silver foliage to Cottage and Perennial gardens!

Toothy, Downy Silver Foliage
Neat & Tidy Mounded Form
Wonderfully Aromatic Leaves
Small Flowers For Pollinators
Great in Containers, Edging, Groundcover & Accents

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Artemisia loves the full sun and grows best in well-drained, enriched soil. Provide enough moisture for new plants to get them established, but after, Wormwood as it is commonly known, can tolerate drier conditions, making it wonderfully xeric! Clean mounds up in late winter to very early spring by trimming just above the ground.

Full Sun & Part Shade
Moist Well-Drained Enriched Soil
Rarely Damaged By Deer
Mulch Well & Prune Early Spring
Low-Growing Herbaceous Perennial
