Makana Silver Artemisia
Artemisia mauiensis ‘Makana Silver’
1 quart pot
 
A striking foliage annual plant with a soft, silvery appearance, Makana Silver forms a dense mound of finely textured silver-white foliage that adds brightness and contrast to containers and sunny borders. The delicate, feathery leaves create an airy, cloud-like effect that pairs beautifully with both bold flowers and pastel tones. Its shimmering foliage remains attractive throughout the growing season, making it an outstanding annual accent plant.
 
Native to the high elevations of Maui, this selection thrives in full sun and sharply drained soil, where it maintains its best color and compact habit. It is exceptionally heat and drought tolerant once established and performs especially well in containers, rock gardens, and xeriscapes. Excellent drainage is essential, particularly during cool, wet weather.
