Western Mugwort, White Sage, Silver Wormwood, Louisiana Sage, Prairie Sage
Grown for its magnificent silver-white foliage, Artemisia ludoviciana (White Sage) is a fast-spreading perennial that adds light and contrast to the landscape and combines well with almost everything. Typically growing in a bushy clump, the lance-shaped foliage of this foliage plant is aromatic when bruised. The leaves, 2-4 in. long (5-10 cm) are white-woolly beneath and nearly glabrous above. Its tiny, yellow-gray flowers are inconspicuous and should be removed as they appear.
