Artemisia tridentata
Overview
Big Sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata) is an aromatic, drought-tolerant bushy evergreen that is native to North America. Growing up to 4 feet tall, it has tall silvery stems and grey-green leaves covered in an oil that gives off a strong, pungent smell when touched. Its small, yellow, daisy-like flowers bloom from the middle of summer to early autumn. This fast-growing plant is often found in dry, open areas and is an important food source for elk, mule deer, and pronghorn sheep. Big Sagebrush also provides cover and nesting material for a variety of wildlife and is vital for preserving biodiversity.
