This three-part series of articles on the Artemisia genus and some of its species, which first appeared in our magazine, the Aquilegia,  was written by Jim Borland, a CoNPS member who has been fooling around with native plants for more than 40 years in private, commercial, and public venues. His home garden contains 1000s of native plants, most grown from seed at home and now not supplementally watered for 20 years. Jim has written hundreds of articles, given talks too numerous to count, and continues to grow and plant the two or three native plants not yet in his garden

Featured in this article are some of the more commonly found Artemisia species found in the nursery trade.
