Artemisia arborescens 'Powis Castle' * Wormwood

This old favorite, Artemisia 'powis castle' stays about 3' tall and can get to 5-6 feet wide.  The soft gray leaves mix well in a lavender garden.  I often mix this plant into a lavender garden.  The plants are hardy to 15 or lower.  If I have a standby plant that might be used in all gardens this might be it.  In large part I use it because it will grow very quickly and allow a garden to fill in.  It is somewhat short-lived, sometimes only lasting a couple of seasons.  But by then the other plants have finally started to hit their stride.
