Artemisia californica

Artemisia californica 'Canyon Gray' - Coastal Sagebrush
A 1980 Santa Barbara Botanic Garden selection of a prostrate form of Artemisia californica from the Channel Islands. This large scale groundcover remains under 2 feet tall and forms a compact mat of fine textured silver-gray foliage to 10 feet wide. Works well on dry slopes and walls and the foliage is very aromatic when crushed. The flowers are fairly inconspicuous. Plant in full sun in a soil with good drainage. Little irrigation is required. Hardy to about 20-25° F . This plant was found growing in a windswept area on San Miguel Island by Ralph Philbrick, former director of Santa Barbara Botanic Garden.
