A distinctive and aromatic subshrub, Artemisia abrotanum 'Cola' forms a tidy, upright mound with finely divided grey-green foliage. Brush past and the leaves release a sweet cola scent, making it brilliant for alongside paths and through herb gardens. Its soft texture gives clean contrast to darker greens and blues, in borders or containers.
Tough and easy, it thrives in full sun and well-drained soils, coping with poorer ground and summer dryness once established. Clip lightly after midsummer to keep its shape and to encourage fresh, scented growth.
Sold currently in 2-litre pots
