Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Rarely offered little Wormwood which is troughable which is a term we should trademark in order to capitalize on the 20 or so people who have both troughs and a penchant for dwarf Artemisia. We need a new business adviser or maybe we should listen to the current one. Few inches high and spreading. Yellowish flowers.
