Notes
'Powis Castle' white sagebrush (Artemisia 'Powis Castle') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, and rock gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to average, sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. It is evergreen, fragrant, and drought tolerant, so it needs little care. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first. It grows 24 to 36 inches tall.
Pairs well with Silver sage, Pink, and Karl Foerster feather reed grass.
