Artemisia Silver King 
A Plant of Rare Beauty for Landscape 
or Cutting 
For landscape effect from early summer until late 
winter, Artemesia Silver King is a most outstanding 
plant. 
For the cut flower trade the foliage of Artemesia 
Silver King is one of the greatest values as a filler for 
sprays or designs. It matures early in the summer and 
quickly hardens to a state when it can be cut and used 
without moisture. The foliage does not wilt or shatter 
after hardening_ off and can be carried dry indefinitely 
without losing its color. 
It thrives in ordinary soil, growing to a height of 
about three feet in almost perfect symmetrical form. 
The steins are well branched and thickly covered with 
bright silver colored foliage, but these quickly divide 
into a delicate lacy shape with the appearance of small 
flower buds all ov er the branches.
