Sagebrush - Artemisia californica & spp.

Artemisia is a large group of plants that includes annuals, perennials, and shrubs grown for soft-textured, aromatic, gray-green foliage. Flowers are inconspicuous but provide a source of pollen, nectar, and seeds for wildlife. A. californica (2-4’ tall x 4-5’ wide) is a California native, resilient, easy-to-grow shrub that thrives in the toughest environments. It’s a good choice for dry, sunny, and sloped areas. It tolerates nutrient-poor sandy soil, as long as it’s well-draining.
