Ready to plant

Artemisia cretacea is also known as Cretaceous Mugwort. This name derives from the environment where the plant originated, namely the mountains of central Italy. This origin is also remembered thanks to a typical custom of Romagnolo shepherds, who used to flavor sheep's milk cheeses with sprigs of Artemisia cretacea.

Even in the farming communities of Val d'Orcia, this plant, which sheep are fond of, has played a special role that is still celebrated today: just think that a few years ago a local brewery used it to flavor a very special beer.

The Artemisia cretacea bush grows into a lovely cushion with finely serrated silver-grey leaves. The foliage is highly aromatic, which makes it an excellent plant to include in an herb garden. You can combine it with other varieties of Artemisia to play with the different shades of grey and mix their scents.

The flowers, greyish-yellow in colour, are unremarkable: the plant is prized mainly for its finely toothed, highly aromatic silver-grey foliage.

Prefers full sun and is quite cold-hardy, with moderate drought tolerance. Its highly aromatic foliage makes it an excellent plant for an herb garden.

WHAT MAKES OUR PLANTS DIFFERENT

Long anti-spiraling vases

A traditional lawn is a fragile monoculture: it drinks thousands of liters of water every summer, needs mowing every week, and turns yellow as soon as you neglect it. An alternative lawn turns this logic on its head: instead of grasses, we use Mediterranean groundcovers selected in our nursery—low, dense, and hardy plants, born for hot and dry climates.

The result is a green, walkable carpet that blooms for months, withstands drought, salt spray, and frost, and reduces watering and maintenance by 80%. It is not an aesthetic compromise: it is a more beautiful, more vibrant lawn that is more honest with the environment.
