Artemisia ludoviciana, Prairie Sage
Pictures to come!
The gray leaves of Prairie Sage can really add a striking accent to any short grass prairie planting. Beware that this incredibly drought-tolerant, prairie species spreads by rhizome and can do so quite readily. The right competition and very dry soils can help maintain a balanced community of plants.
Blooms: greenish-yellow, July to September
Height: 1 to 3 feet
Conditions: sun to pt sun, medium to dry soils, sandy and dry best to limit spread
