I put this under a crabapple tree as a groundcover - the tag on the plant said it would only be a foot tall or some other nonsense. I really like the looks of it when it first comes up and it's short, but mine ends up about 4 feet tall and it's a thug! I'm thinking about just cutting it back with the lawnmower from time to time to keep it looking nicer. I think it looks ratty when it gets so tall and is not at all what I had in mind. I would try to pull it out except that it's already moving into the surrounding lawn, so I'm guessing that's not an option.

Grow this one in a container. It spreads by underground runners and can be very invasive. Wonderful in sun to full shade, but in a pot!

I was unable to keep this going. For some reason, I struggle with all artemisias, perhaps my soil is too acidic for them.
