Growing well in Iowa, zone 5a, for the 2nd year. It is not as aggressive as one of my other artemisia cultivars, "oriental limelight". Has tall flower spikes in the spring. Very attractive silvery-grey foliage that works well with other flower colours around it.

The cultivar 'Valerie Finnis' grows 18 to 24 inches tall and has broad leaves that, in a certain light, appear to be almost white. In clay loam, the spread of 'Valerie Finnis' is not aggressive, but in sandy soils it grows more rapidly and needs to be kept in check. Hardy to Zone 1, where winter temperatures may fall below -50°F, 'Valerie Finnis' is also an ideal drought-tolerant plant for warmer areas (to Zone 9 [20°F]) with little moisture in winter.
