I have failed with this plant twice. Once, it didn't make it through our zone 4b winter. Once it succombed to a mild dose of dog pee. Think its too delicate for my conditions!

My favorite Artemisia! Excellent foliage and very long lasting flowers in a creamy white. Reaches about 3 feet tall with the flowers. Easily divided by taking a section of the root-ball in late fall. Deciduous, but rebounds each spring with fresh new foliage.

I planted this 2003 summer, looked good and grew to 4 foot tall, buds on the stems and then one by one the stems wilted like they were drying up and now only two stems are left - i'm afraid soon those will be gone too - any ideas what happened?
