Positive shelly80504 On May 29, 2009, shelly80504 from Longmont, CO (Zone 5a) wrote:

One of mine grows over the edge of the garden, and as a result my kids tend to mow off the edge of it once a week - yet it still looks great - so I consider this one "very hardy". Because it is low growing, it makes a great "filler" between taller growing plants. It has a unique color (slivery/gray) and texture (I can see where they call it seafoam) to its foliage so it also adds very nice interest to the garden.

Languished in Texas heat and humidity for 3 years before I euthanized it. There are better Artemisias. Never tried the straight species here though.
