Field Sagewort

 

Field Sagewort
Artemisia campestris

The picture above is a young start of a plant.  It eventually gets tall with lots of unimpressive flowers.  This plant grows in dry, sandy areas, particularly around the dunes.

An interesting fact is that it is a host plant for another rare hemiparisitic plant; Orobanche fasciculata (Clustered Broomrape).  The only place to find these plants together in Indiana is at the Indiana Dunes.
