David's Choice Artemisia is grown for texture: fine, deeply divided silver foliage packed into a dense, soft-looking mound that catches low light and cools down everything planted near it. Artemisia pycnocephala 'David's Choice' arrives as a live 4-inch plant.

A California native of coastal dunes and bluffs, it asks for sand, grit and sharp drainage, then spreads into evergreen ground cover on a dry slope, in a rock garden or along a windy seaside bed. Small yellow flower heads rise over the silver from summer into early autumn; shear those stems off afterwards and the mound stays tight.

Design note: silver is the easiest peacemaker in a planting. Set it between hot reds and oranges to calm them down, or beside pinks and pale blues to make those colors read cleaner.

Pair it with anything else that likes life lean and dry, and your plant is covered by our healthy arrival guarantee.

We use expedited shipping policies to protect plant health and minimize plant stress in transit.  All plants are in transit for only 1-3 days. (This does not guarantee 3-day delivery as orders are not always packed and sent out on the day of your order.) We send out deliveries on a weekly schedule to ensure quick transit times, so your order may not be packaged and shipped until later in the week. For instance, we may hold shipments to avoid weekend delays that keep plants in transit for longer.

All packaging includes eco-friendly material and our shipping methods are tested regularly to ensure plants arrive healthy upon arrival.

Additionally, any delays or damages in shipping are covered by our Healthy Plant Guarantee.

If you're plants arrived damaged, we will happily replace them for free!
