The foliage presents nuances of green, grey, and silver, to be highlighted among different textures. The usual flowering period is in September.

Soil choice is essential for Artemisia 'GardenGhost': well-drained garden soil, retaining moderate moisture during establishment. The preferred exposure is full sun. Support the rooting of Artemisia 'GardenGhost' with deep watering, then check the moisture before re-watering. Adjust the frequency to rainfall and heat; avoid small daily applications on already moist soil. A margin corresponding to its spread of 30 cm avoids having to move the clump in the first seasons.
