Valerie Finnis White Sagebrush, Western Mugwort, White Sagebrush
Valerie Finnis western mugwort is a compact clump-forming, herbaceous perennial native to western North America, including Mexico. The lance shaped, silvery white leaves may have some jagged edges or lobes at their tips. When crushed, they are fragrant. Woolly, yellowish brown flowerheads appear from midsummer to fall.
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, and is a great dried flower.
