Silver King Sagebrush, Western Mugwort, White Sagebrush
Silver King western mugwort is a compact clump-forming, herbaceous perennial native to western North America, including Mexico. The lance shaped, white and woolly leaves turn an impressive red in autumn. Leave edges are mildly waved and curved. It also tends to bear more of the smaller male flowers in late summer.
Western mugwort is often regarded as invasive and grows best in well drained soil and full sun. This plant is used in sunny mixed borders and rock gardens.
