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.
