Description

Artemisia pycnocephala, Beach Sagebrush, is a perennial-shrub, 2ft silver mound. The softest plant I have ever seen, after a couple of years this little bush needs to be pruned back and allowed to grow back into it's soft blanket. Beach Sagebrush is nice for a quick fill. It will tolerate other conditions but loves beach sand next to the ocean. Tolerates salt spray and salinity.
