Notes
'Silver Queen' white sagebrush (Artemisia ludoviciana 'Silver Queen') is a perennial for borders and containers. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full sun and dry to wet, sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice. The fragrant, drought tolerant clumps spread 35 to 47 inches, so give them room, and butterflies visit them.
Pairs well with Lamb’s ear, Malepartus eulalia, and Lady's mantle.
