Could it be artemisia? Is there is smell to the foliage?

Here is a link that might be useful: Artemisia

Yes, that is exactly what it is. The plant has a refreshing scent. Can you tell me how to care for it?

Thanks,

Want the best performance out of artemesia? Deprive it of water, fertilizer and generally any attention at all. Want more? Take a cutting and stick it in dirt where nothing else would root. It will.

It does not like humidity.

Seedmama is correct. I kill them. A friend of mine who pays zero, zip, zilch attention, had them for three years until she took them out because they grew.

Go figure. :)

On the positive side, George (macmex) says that while he was in Mexico he always kept one growing as a stomach treatment. I believe he said it was helpful for diarrhea. I hope he will be along to tell you more.

I have a much more weedy variety which I confine to a pot because it spreads by root runners. If I had that leggy one, I think I would cut it back and let it bush back out.

When watering, be sure not to spray any on the foliage. Just water ground. Water on the foliage will cause what is in your picture.

Looks like Silver Mound Artemisia, a groundcover version of artemisia. I had some at my old house, loved it. stays low and pretty mostly year round. I had another larger variety, can't recall the name right now, did great. This year it was evergreen, but some years the foliage gets too cold and I had to cut back some to get it to bush out more fully.
