Artemisia is a large and diverse genus of aromatic, mostly perennial shrubs and herbs of the Asteraceae (Daisy) family, characterized by alternating leaves and small inflorescence.
Many species are prized as ornamental plants for their eye-catching silvery-gray leaves, often used in flower gardens to create contrast or soften the transition between rich colors. Common species are sagebush, tarragon, mugwort, and wormwood.
