Artemisia frigida ~ Fringed Sage, Prairie Sage |
|
Artemisia figida is native to the Rockies, and adjoining states, the plains and through to Canada and
Alaska. The Fringed Sage is both drought and cold tolerant. Artemisia frigida has done quite well in our
gardens. The Fringed Sage has made a slowly spreading mat 12" tall and spreading to 3 feet wide. The
flowers of Artemisia frigida are nice while blooming but look pretty ratty once they dry, so I cut them
off in late Spring. Aside from the annual trim the Fringed Sage is pretty low maintenance and easy to
care for. Artemisia frigida will go partially dormant through the Winter but in our area it comes back
quite early.
