The open panicles and bunched habit of this population are distinctive and not suggestive of Artemisia ludoviciana. However, the leaves that are mostly entire and densely white hairy on both surfaces are those of A. ludoviciana.

Louisiana Sagewort

Artemisia ludoviciana

Louisiana Sagewort (Artemisia ludoviciana) is a landscape plant valued for its form and structure as much as its bloom. It reaches roughly 3 ft at maturity and blooms in mid summer. Match it to full sun to part shade and water on a normal schedule until it is established. One caveat: like any plant, its published range is a guideline, not a guarantee, for the specific microclimate of your yard. Given a spot that matches its light and water needs, it is a dependable, low-drama addition to the yard.
