Artemisia ludoviciana, also known as Prairie Sage or White Sagebrush, is a hardy, drought-tolerant perennial native to North America’s grasslands. With its silvery-green, aromatic foliage and late-summer silver-white flowers, it adds beauty to gardens and landscapes while requiring minimal maintenance once established.
This plant not only enhances your garden's aesthetic but also supports local pollinators. Its nectar and pollen attract bees, butterflies (American Lady and Painted Lady), and moths, making it an important resource for ecosystem health. Prairie Sage thrives in various soil types, from sandy to clay-rich, and is ideal for xeriscaping and sustainable landscaping.
In addition to its ecological benefits, Prairie Sage is used for its aromatic, medicinal properties and is perfect for low-water, pollinator-friendly gardens. This native plant can be agressive and might not be the best fit in small garden spaces.
