Fringed Sagebrush (Artemisia frigida) is an attractive addition to any xeric or waterwise planting and the definition of low maintenance! It will tolerate poor to moderately fertile soils, full sun to partial shade, elevations between 3,000 and 11,000 feet, and is very drought tolerant. Despite being one of the toughest plants out there, Fringed Sagebrush is a petite and delicate-looking plant that sports a soft mat of green and silvery foliage. It has a very compact growth habit when young, which can be maintained by pruning and shaping as it gets older. Fringed Sage makes a lovely addition to dry garden beds and borders, mediterranean style gardens, xeric gardens, and rock gardens. If placed along walking paths, the blooms can be trimmed to maintain a soft, groundcover appearance.
