ARTEMISIA stelleriana 'Mori's Strain'

Artemisia stelleriana 'Mori's Strain' is a compact, low-growing perennial valued for its finely textured, silver-white foliage. The thick, velvety leaves are deeply lobed and create a soft, silvery mat that contrasts beautifully with green-leaved plants. Though it rarely blooms, this variety is grown primarily for its ornamental foliage, which adds brightness and structure to borders, rock gardens, and container plantings.

'Mori's Strain' thrives in sandy, well-drained soil and performs exceptionally well in coastal or dry garden settings. It is drought-tolerant once established and resists deer browsing, making it a dependable groundcover or edging plant. Regular trimming helps maintain a dense form and prevent legginess, especially in mid to late summer.
