Test Prairie Sage (Artemisia ludoviciana) Check out our other listings! Prairie Sage is a perennial wildflower native to nearly every region of the United States where it can often be found growing in open pine woods, dry slopes and prairies, and in canons. Plant grows to about 3 feet in height and has silver-green leaves and stems topped by nodding clusters of yellow flowers that bloom from July through August. Attracts bees, butterflies, and other beneficial pollinators, and is the host plant for the American Lady and Painted Lady butterflies. Many Native American tribes use Prairie Sage for smudging and other ceremonial purposes. Direct sow in late fall by gently scattering the seeds onto the soil’s surface. For spring planting, mix seeds with moist sand and store in the refrigerator for 30 days (cold stratification) before direct sowing. To start indoors, after stratification sow seeds on the surface of a flat. Keep soil lightly moist and at a temperature of 65-70 degrees F until germination.
