An extremely large genus of drought tolerant trees, shrubs and perennials.
Many of the silvery species look great around a water feature or pool, especially during evening or night. Most are tolerant of heat and drought as well as salt, excessive winds and even fire. Healthy plants are rarely bothered by insect pests or disease. Many species can be divided during autumn or early spring.

Artemisia absinthium ( Wormwood )
A fast growing to invasive, subshrubby perennial, reaching a maximum size of 5.5 x 5 ( rarely over 4 ) feet, that is native to grasslands from eastern Europe to western Siberia. It is locally naturalized in eastern North America to as far north as southern Saskatchewan to Red Lake, ON to Longlac, Ontario.
The aromatic leaves, up to 4 inches in length, are silvery-gray.
The small flowers are borne on heads up to 0.2 inches wide.
Hardy zones 3 to 8 in full sun to partial shade on just about and dry, well drained soil. Extremely cold tolerant; it thrives in the southern half of Alberta. Tolerant of poor soil and is very drought tolerant, even thriving on pure sand. Prune back after flowering. This plant is best cut back to 6 inches in height during early spring to encourage fresh vigorous growth. Wormwood is NOT eaten by deer. Propagation is easy from root division and seed.
The roots of Wormwood release a natural herbicide that inhibits growth of many types of plants within a few feet. This chemical is destroyed by fire.
This is the Wormwood that is the famous ingredient in an Absinthe, an alcoholic beverage which is said to leave the mind alert and clear yet also cause hullucinations in many. Despite being illegal in many countries, Absinthe is no more toxic than other high alcoholic content beverages. Absinthe was very much loved by artists such as Van Gogh and Picasso. Absinthe is made by softening or breaking Absinthe into pieces using a liquid, along with Calamus, Fennel and Angelica as well as a few other herbs.

Artemisia tridentata ( Big Sagebrush )
The largest of the Sages; it is native to dry valleys of the Rocky Mountains in western North America ( from Kamloops, British Columbia to southern Alberta to North Dakota; south to southern Nevada to southern Colorado ).
Fast growing, typically reaching up to 15 feet, some records include: largest on record - 35 x 30 feet with a trunk diameter of 1 foot. Some records include: 10 years - 10 x 10 feet. Can be thinned and trained as a tree.
Sagebrush is extremely valuable for shelter for wildlife in dry intermontane zones where few other woody plants grow.
The aromatic, wedge-shaped ( with 3 teeth at the tips ) leaves are up to 2 x 0.6 inches in size. The alternately arranged, late deciduous to evergreen leaves are silvery-gray. The sweet fragrance of the Big Sagebrush can be smalled after a desert rain.
The brownish flowers are borne in long narrow clusters.

The bark on older plants is shredded.
Hardy zones 3 to 8, tolerating as low as -43 F. Big Sagebrush prefers full sun on deep, well drained soil. It is very drought tolerant but does not like saline conditions. It is not known to grow in the humid east.
Propgation is from fresh seed sown on moist soil, though germination isn't always reliable.
The roots of Big Sagebrush releases a natural herbicide into the soil which prevents the growth of many other plants by as much as 6 feet away. This natural herbicide is destroyed by fire.
It is not generally eaten by livestock and thus often outcompetes forageable plants on rangelands.
The plants are sometimes dried and burned on barbecues for flavoring.
Big Sagebrush has also been used to flavor tea and alcoholic beverages.
The leaves can be burned in campfires to repel insects. They are also useful for repelling insect when stored with food.
The aromatic leaves were burned in sweat lodges by some native tribes.
