Prairie Sage quart
Prairie Sage (Artemisia ludoviciana) is a silvery, aromatic native perennial that forms soft, spreading clumps and brings a distinctive shimmer to dry prairies, meadows, and open woodlands. Growing 1–3 feet tall, it features narrow, velvety leaves and late‑summer flower clusters that create a subtle, hazy texture in full sun and lean soils. Highly drought‑tolerant and resilient, it supports native insects, offers shelter for beneficial arthropods, and provides modest seed value for wildlife, while its rhizomatous habit allows it to naturalize gracefully in restoration settings. With its muted color, fragrant foliage, and ability to thrive in challenging sites, Prairie Sage is an excellent choice for low‑maintenance plantings, meadow edges, and ecological landscapes where both durability and visual softness are desired.
