What is this plant called?

My friend and I have been trading plants, she can not recall all the names and I have two I do not know the names of....

This has no flower, maybe it does not flower.

What do you think?

Thanks.

Probably an artemisia. By the way, all angiosperms (which encompasses most garden plants excluding conifers) do bloom - it only depends whether we are present to see the flowers, or whether the flowers are showy enough that people notice them.

Thanks... I hope it blooms, I will do a search on the net and see what I can find out about it. I am putting in new items in the garden thanks to this new friend I have, who I met on line.

Again thanks for the info.

Have a good day.

I've also wondered what this plant what called. My mom thought it was snow-on-the-mountain but has never been sure. I didn't feel like doing the search on artemsia-please post if it is.
BTW- if you didn't know this plant will spread like crazy. It will send up shoots all throughout your bed. It's not too invasive but it doesn't keep form and if you're going for a specific look (formal, structured), you will have to pull it like weeds. Overall though, it's a beautiful plant and grows well, but I have never seen it flower.

General info:

Artemisia (pronounced /ˌɑrtɨˈmiːziə/)[1] is a large, diverse genus of plants with between 200 to 400 species belonging to the daisy family Asteraceae. It comprises hardy herbs and shrubs known for their volatile oils. They grow in temperate climates of the Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere, usually in dry or semi-dry habitats. The fern-like leaves of many species are covered with white hairs. Some botanists split the genus into several genera, but DNA analysis[2] does not support the maintenance of the genera Crossostephium, Filifolium, Neopallasia, Seriphidium, and Sphaeromeria; three other segregate genera Stilnolepis, Elachanthemum, and Kaschgaria are maintained by this evidence.

Common names used for several species include wormwood, mugwort, sagebrush and sagewort, while a few species have unique names, notably Tarragon (A. dracunculus) and Southernwood (A. abrotanum). Occasionally some of the species are called sages, causing confusion with the Salvia sages in the family Lamiaceae.

Most species have strong aromas and bitter tastes from terpenoids and sesquiterpene lactones, which exists as an adaptation to discourage herbivory.[3] The small flowers are wind-pollinated.[3]

Artemisia species are used as food plants by the larvae of a number of Lepidoptera species. See List of Lepidoptera that feed on Artemisia.

I think I have this:

'Silver King' artemisia plants grow 2'-3' high. A rapid spreader, 'Silver King' artemisia plants may be a bit too vigorous for those worried about harboring aggressive plants. Their attractive silvery foliage has become the base or accent for many a fall wreath. In the picture above, notice how nicely the silvery foliage of 'Silver King' artemisia complements the yellow flowering plants in the background. But color is only part of the appeal of 'Silver King' artemisia. The foliage's fine texture is also useful in providing contrast within a planting bed. 'Silver Queen' is a similar artemisia plant but is more compact. Planting zones 3-9.


Thanks all.

Nancy.

LOL... I have mine planted exactly the same- in a bed with black-eyed susans and actually started on plans this week to add the purple coneflowers.

It is outstanding in floral arrangements.
