Silvermound is a compact, perennial herb known for its striking, feathery foliage. The leaves are finely divided, creating a soft, mounded appearance that resembles delicate silver lace. Its foliage is a silvery-gray to white color, offering a shimmering effect that adds visual interest to gardens. This plant maintains a low, rounded form, typically reaching heights of 10 to 12 inches and spreading up to 18 inches wide. In late spring to early summer, it produces small, inconspicuous yellow flowers, though the foliage remains the main attraction. This plant is often used for its texture and color contrast in garden designs, complementing both vibrant and muted plant palettes. Its aromatic leaves can also deter pests, providing a natural protective element to surrounding plants.
