The look and fine texture of a fern with the ability to thrive in full sun sets the SunFern™ Arcadia Russian Wormwood apart. The fern-like foliage has a lacey quality and a lovely medium-green hue. The botanical name of this leafy plant is Artemisia gmelinii. Russian Wormwood is a low-maintenance plant grown for its showy foliage.
The lovely foliage of SunFern™ Arcadia Russian Wormwood mixes well with other plants. Use it to fill empty spaces or introduce texture in a mixed bed or along a border or edging. The height is perfect for filling the space between short plants at the front of a bed and tall plants at the back. Russian Wormwood makes a beautiful ground cover underneath trees and shrubs, and does not need protection from hot sun. Use the Artemisia gmelinii as a filler in a container arrangement. This deer-resistant perennial grows in zones 4 through 9.
SunFern™ Arcadia Russian Wormwood Care
Plant SunFern™ Arcadia in part to full sun. Russian Wormwood can live in some shade, but it needs direct sun to thrive. Provide rich, moist, and well-drained soil. This perennial has average water needs, but new plants need frequent watering until established. Fertilize in spring and again by midsummer to encourage more growth.
The SunFern™ Arcadia Russian Wormwood is an herbaceous perennial. Trim faded growth to ground level in the late winter or early spring.
SunFern™ Arcadia Russian Wormwood Spacing
SunFern™ Arcadia Russian Wormwood reaches 14 to 16 inches tall and 14 to 18 inches wide. These perennials do not spread, so space plants 14 to 18 inches apart to create a continuous look.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
