description_en: Genus of about 300 species of evergreen and deciduous shrubs, perennials, and annuals found in dry fields, prairies, and scrub in the N. hemisphere, with a few from South Africa and W. South America. Artemisias are cultivated for their alternate, variously shaped, often pinnatisect, usually aromatic, grey or silver leaves; the cylindrical flowerheads, 2-8mm (1/16-3/8in) across, occasionally solitary, but usually in terminal panicles or racemes, are generally of little interest. They are suitable for a rock garden or border; some have culinary uses and are grown in herb gardens.

hardiness_en: Fully hardy to frost hardy.
