I've no idea what this is - anyone know?
As you can see, it's in a very small pot and I've had it for years. Every spring, I cut it back really hard and give it a general liquid feed once it starts growing. It's very variegated and it never flowers. It does get rather leggy and woody at the base as the summer goes on.
When I think about it, is there any chance it's some sort of herb?

Artemisia vulgaris 'Oriental Limelight'. Artemisia is also known as wormwood. I wouldn't eat it if I were you, though it's a traditional remedy for intestinal worms..... and some people have an allergic reaction if they handle it. I've had it and lost it in winter as it's not all that hardy.
