- Prairie Sage is known buy a lot of names, Sage / Wormwood / Sagewort / Sagebrush are just a few. This is the sage used for smudging. Very fragrant. Impervious to floods, fire, and drought. Not picky about soils. Full sun or part sun. This is a stiff, aromatic, silvery-white perennial, 1 1/2 - 3 ft. tall, which can spread quickly to form large colonies. Shrub-like, white, densely matted with hairs. Small, yellowish flowers show up in late summer and bloom through fall. This is a common artemisia, with fragrant, whitish green foliage. a good choice for a low-maintenance, waist-high groundcover. It can even take a mowing.
- Some American Native Wildflower seeds need to go through a cold winter to germinate. This plant is one of them. They do this so the seed won’t sprout in fall, only to have the seedling not make it through a cold winter. I have stratified these seeds to simulate a cold winter(stratification) This raises the germination rate considerably. Thanks for looking!!.
