SunFern™ ‘Olympia’ Russian Wormwood (Artemisia gmelinii)

SunFern™ ‘Olympia’ Russian Wormwood (Artemisia gmelinii) is a finely textured, upright perennial known for its soft, silvery-green foliage that resembles delicate fern-like fronds. This variety provides airy structure and contrast in garden beds, borders, and containers, making it a strong companion plant in mixed plantings.

Selected for improved form and garden performance, SunFern™ Olympia maintains a tidy, mounded to upright habit without becoming overly woody or sparse. Its aromatic foliage adds sensory interest while helping deter deer and other browsing animals.

Well-suited to Alberta’s dry and sunny conditions, this hardy perennial thrives in well-drained soils and performs reliably in Prairie landscapes. It is particularly useful in xeriscaping and low-maintenance plantings where drought tolerance is important.
