Here is another pic.

Artemisia -- NOt a weed -- a wonderful plant!

Hope this helps!

Here is a link that might be useful: Wikipedia -- artemisia

With purple flowers, not likely Artemisia. Looks more like a Perovskia to me. My Perovskia produce seedlings here and there. Should add that it is not a weed but is a nice perennial.

Thanks teacats! I guess it just grows like a weed, lol. Unfortunately the artemisia pics dont quite look like this leaf - close, but a little off. Do you have a specific variety in mind? I was looking on bhg for pics.

If it gets purple flowers it's not artemisia.

I think it's russian sage (Perovskia atriplicifolia).

It's for sure Russian Sage.

I also think it looks like Russian sage.

Definitely Perovskia!!

Ok, i once looked at sage varieties but didnt make the match...now i have found its photo match on the web and it is definitely Russian sage. Thank you!! I am a novice but we bought a house with amazing, though neglected, beds - I am fumbling my way through the summer, trying to get them into shape.

I also think it's Russian Sage. I love'em! They have a long, long, long bloom period..seem to peak in the torrid days of late Summer and linger into Autumn. Excellent for...heat, drought, floral display..., oh, and deer HATE them!

Although its common name is Russian Sage it is not a true sage, Salvia, so looking at sages wouldn't turn it up. It is, as others have said, definitely Perovskia.
