Sea Foam is also known under the trade name of Super Trees. The Super
Trees webpage implies that it is related to the desert sagebrush which
might be a clue if it is true:

This page has some larger photos of the entire plant:

Possibilities include cultivars named Sea Foam or Seafoam in the
sagebrush genus, Artemisia vulgaris 'Sea Foam':

and Artemisia versicolor 'Seafoam':

However, both of those are silvery which doesn't match your photo.

Here's another hobbyist webpage on Sea Foam for tree-making and it
asks for the scientific name too:

Colleagues of mine, working on a model railway, are using some plant
material marketed under the name of 'sea foam', used to make model trees.
They (and me) are interested to know what exactly this is. Pictures can be
found at:

I would be grateful for any help.
