Artemisia frigida (Prairie Sagebrush) is a low-growing, semi-evergreen, woody-based perennial forming a tuft of deeply-divided, soft, woolly, silver-white leaves. The fine-textured foliage is aromatic (camphor-scented). In summer, small, yellow flower heads are borne in nodding racemes or open panicles, but they are ornamentally insignificant and are best cut off to keep the foliage at its best. Drought tolerant, Prairie Sagebrush is native to Europe, Asia, and much of North America. Used for landscaping because of its attractive, fine, silvery-green foliage, this is a good soil stabilizer and ground cover.
