Artemisia stelleriana 'Morris Strain'

Common name: Dusty Miller

Dusty Miller has been used in dry gardens as long as I can remember. So it was a nice surprise when we started with this 'Morris Strain'. Much improved, it is better in every way - more leafy, brighter silver-white leaves and hardy.

I am sure that it will find its way into colourful window boxes and municipal plantings. We like it best in the rock garden.
