Artemesia ‘Silver Lining’ is a new hybrid of native North American species including Artemisia ludoviciana. It takes the best of these parents as a spectacular, new durable foliage perennial. The broadly dissected silver leaves are showy from spring to fall. The mounded, low wide habit maintains perfect form all season and resists opening up. This plant can be used as a filler in the landscape and spiller in mixed containers. Buff yellow flowers are held on tall scapes. Flowering is not significant and this plant should be considered primarily for its foliage.
Compared to the annual varieties of Artemisia, 'Silver Lining' is truly perennial and will have exceptional performance year after year. Unlike A. ludoviciana, 'Silver Lining' is not a thug and will not take over your landscape as it does not spread by underground runners.
