Sounds like the Silver King artemisia.. runs wild too. Kinda ugly
too. Nice as a background for blue plants. Can't recall if wormwood
is an artemisia but it'll get out of hand too, but nowhere near like
the silver king and its "relatives" ;-)

No it doesn't. It is a plant which grows to approximately a 3 foot diameter.
It
doesn't run wild. It needs to be cut back a few times during the growing
season
to maintain a beautiful shape and vigor. A beautiful, xeric plant.

Could we be seeing a "common name" vs. "Latin" issue? I've had two
"southernwoods" - one was a woody shrub, the other a runner.
