Care:

Artemisia Powis Castle is a resilient and low-maintenance plant. It prefers well-drained and sunny soils but can tolerate shadier conditions. It's important to avoid overwatering as it prefers slightly dry soils. This plant does not require regular fertilization and is relatively resistant to diseases and pests.

Watering:

Watering should be moderate and spaced out, allowing the soil to dry between each watering to avoid root rot issues. Deep occasional watering is recommended instead of frequent shallow watering.

Pruning:

Pruning of Artemisia Powis Castle is minimal and is mainly done to maintain its compact shape and aesthetic appearance. Longer, untidy branches can be trimmed in spring to encourage denser, more uniform growth.

This variety of Artemisia is generally resistant to pests and diseases. However, it may be susceptible to issues such as powdery mildew in high humidity conditions. Prevention is key, and preventive fungicide application can be done as needed.
