Artemisia alba subsp camphorata is a highly fragrant, medicinal and striking grey-green bush.

It has a smell that reminds some of a very fresh Coca Cola and others of a fresh pool - either way, it smells like summer!

The leaves are as fine as lace and the stems will become woody over time to support her growth.

✂️The best time to cut Artemisia back is February/March.
It can become rather leggy as it grows so don't hesitate to cut it back - the new growth will be brighter and healthier.
🌱You can use the cuttings to start new plants or try your hand at making your own cola drink.
