Notes
'Valerie Finnis' white sagebrush (Artemisia ludoviciana 'Valerie Finnis') is a perennial for borders and containers. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full sun and dry to wet, sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. The clumps reach 18 to 24 inches tall and wide, and the leaves are fragrant. Butterflies visit the white blooms.
Pairs well with Feather reed grass, Buffalo grass, and Briar rose.
