Product Description

Artemisia ‘Silver Lining’ PPAF – Proven Winners®(20)ct Flat

Common Name: White Sagebrush, ArtemisiaA hybrid of native North American species including Artemisia ludoviciana. ‘Silver Lining’ finds the best in its parentage as a spectacular, durable foliage perennial. Broadly dissected silver leaves are showy from spring to fall. The mounded, low wide habit maintains perfect form all season and resists opening up. Use this perennial 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 annualized types of Artemisia, ‘Silver Lining’ is truly perennial and will have exceptional performance year after year. Unlike A. ludoviciana, ‘Silver Lining’ will not take over your landscape as it does not spread by underground runners.

• Ground Cover: Plant it in mass plantings to create a low-maintenance, silver carpet.

• Border Plant: Use it to define borders or edges of beds.
• Focal Point: Plant it as a specimen plant to draw attention to its unique foliage.
• Companion Plants: Consider pairing them with other drought-tolerant plants with contrasting colors and textures, such as:
• Lavender
• Sedum
• Yarrow
• Coneflower
• Ornamental grasses

Planting and Care

• Planting:
• Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil.
• Plant in spring or fall.
• Space plants according to their mature size (about 2-3 feet apart).
• Water thoroughly after planting.
• Care:
• Water regularly until established, then only during prolonged dry spells.
• Fertilize lightly in spring if desired.
• Trim lightly in mid-summer to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth.
• Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot.
• Deadhead spent flowers if they appear, but this is not necessary.

Additional Notes

• ‘Silver Lining’ does not spread by underground runners, making it less invasive than some other Artemisia species.
