Artemisia ludoviciana 'Silver Queen' makes a terrific, low growing and slightly spreading groundcover for a sunny, well-drained Mediterranean border or gravel garden. Drought tolerant once established, it's an excellent foil for white or brightly coloured flowers.

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.
