Sensational creamy-white blooms on dramatic 1-2 foot long plume-like panicles in late summer - and the flowerheads remain attractive well into the fall. They are excellent cut flowers for fresh or dried arrangements. Unlike other Artemisias, White Mugwort does best when the soil does not dry out completely. Grows 4-5 feet tall and is evergreen in milder zones. Winter hardy to zone 4.







How to Plant WHITE MUGWORT ARTEMISIA Seeds
Sow seed in cell packs or
peat pots, press into soil but
do not cover. Needs light
to germinate. Kept at 60-65° F., germination is
in 30-60 days. Transplant
into the garden 24-36 inches
apart.
Comments: Full or part sun. Unlike other Artemisias, White Mugwort prefers rich, moist (even wet) soils. Will tolerate a wide range of soil types as long as drainage is adequate. Develops a shrubby habit, is not invasive. In full sun with moderate to little water, plants average 4 feet or less tall. Provided sun and ample moisture, can reach 6 feet or more tall. Cut back by half to control size. Dip freshly cut stems into boiling water for long-lasting cut flowers. For dried flowers, hang stems in a well ventilated area. Resists deer and rabbits. Attracts butterflies.
