Easily grown in average, medium, well-drained soil in full sun. Prefers rich, moist soils with good drainage.
This white mugwort cultivar is an erect, clump-forming perennial which typically grows 4-5' tall. Features upright, branched, 12-18", astilbe-like, terminal sprays (loose panicles) of creamy white flowers which bloom atop stiff, dark mahogany stems in late summer. Stems usually do not need staking. Pinnately divided blackish-green leaves have coarsely toothed segments. Most artemisias have non-ornamental flowers and are grown primarily for their attractive silver/gray foliage. By comparison, the white mugworts have attractive flowers and green (blackish-green in the case of this cultivar) leaves.
No serious insect or disease problems. Rust and powdery mildew are occasional problems.
Border rears.
