PRAIRIE SAGE
(Artemisia ludoviciana)
This is Manitoba’s native take on dusty miller. Prairie sage is more discrete, though, with its spikes of small, inconspicuous, yellow flowers that are wind-pollinated. These plants are beautifully scented and hold a special place in many Indigenous cultures.
Grows with dwarf milkweed, wild bergamot, giant hyssop, yarrow, Missouri goldenrod, little bluestem and June grass.
