Sea Foam Sage

Sea Foam sage is a vigorously growing groundcover with silver foliage. Fine, lacy leaves cover the mounded plant. 

It is grown for its attractive foliage, which looks nice next to plants with larger or greener leaves.It spreads through underground stems and can fill in an area over time.

Sea Foam sage differs from other Artemisias because it will produce upright stalks with tiny, insignificant flowers in summer. These can be cut off to highlight the leaves, if desired.
