Named after the notable plantswoman and garden designer, this ‘white sage’ is highly valued for its new, argent (and aromatic when gently bruised) young shoots, which make a sublime foil in Mediterranean, cottage, scented or herb-themed planting schemes.
A clump-forming herbaceous perennial, the wooly-white foliage of Artemisia ludoviciana 'Valerie Finnis' is also crowned with tiny, mimosa-like white flowers in late summer and early autumn - although many choose to snip these off as they appear, allowing the foliage to take centre stage.

This hardy perennial Artemisia thrives in full sun and well-drained, poor soil—rich or heavy conditions can lead to excessive spreading or weak, floppy growth.
In late autumn, cut back last season’s stems to ground level. Pinching out the tips during the growing season helps maintain a neat, upright shape. Avoid heavy feeding, as this encourages legginess and reduces the plant’s natural compact form.
Regular division every few years will help manage its spread and keep the clump vigorous.
