Artemisia abrotanum is a highly fragrant, resilient, low maintenance perennial for both outdoor or indoor gardens.


The grey-green leaves are similarly narrow and feathery, the camphor-like odor is powerful, happy in the sun, drought and disease tolerant...

The plant grows as an upright, bushy shrub, typically reaching 60–120 cm in height. Its finely divided, feathery leaves are silvery-green and covered in a soft, aromatic coating.

When crushed, the foliage emits a distinctive, pungent scent reminiscent of rosemary or sage.

From mid to late summer, Artemisia abrotanum produces small, inconspicuous yellow flowers, which are primarily of ornamental interest due to the plant’s striking foliage.

The shrub develops a woody base with branching stems, making it drought-tolerant and suitable for dry, sunny gardens.

It spreads slowly and can be maintained in defined shapes with occasional pruning.
