Hilly, Sunny Sites: Artemisia Silver Mound

http://www.bluestoneperennials.com/ARSM.html

This plant is perfect for a Colorado, high altitude, difficult-to-mow, hilly area, at street intersections, as it's a low level height at full maturity. The only plant I can grow from seed in Evergreen are Forget-Me-Nots. I was able keep a strawberry plant, peony, petunias, nepeta six hills giant catmints and have tried the bleeding heart perennial.

For some reason, the bleeding heart didn't return the following year. Other various shrubs were uprooted by the elk herds. I've attempted low-growing, evergreen juniper shrubs also, but without success. For indoors plants: crassula ovata, white flowering jade tree, sedums, and ZZ plants are the only things I can keep alive in Colorado. I tried a beautiful, peach bougainvillea indoors, but it didn't make it past a few months.
