White Mugwort
Artemisia lactifolia

Effective perennial background plant in full sun areas where soil is moist but well-drained. Grows to 4–6 feet tall. White flowers coupled with silver foliage offers good contrast for late summer/fall asters. This coarse-leaved artemisia is the only wormwood grown for its attractive flowers. Zones 4-8.
