Small Talk Mama on Jun 17, 2014I have to go with Nancy Wagner. I received some from my neighbor and was told it was Artemesia. I love the stuff, and have it next to my purple coneflowers for some contrast and additional height. It will spread quickly, but is easy just to pull up from where it's not wanted.Helpful Reply

Gretchen on Jun 17, 2014Artemesia does come in many different styles! Yes, that is what it is. You can divide it and have more plants, or move the whole thing. It is perennial and will continue to get larger until an opening or a circle develops in the middle - that will tell you the plants wants to be divided. You can leave it through the winter for winter interest or you can cut it down to almost ground level in late fall. Happily, it will come back next spring!Helpful Reply

Kathleen Potter on Jun 17, 2014I'm pretty sure you have artemesia. The should be grayish in color and will have flowers that are between a white and yellow. If pull part of it up and it has runners on the bottom that is a sign of artmesia. Very prolific and some will say it is invasive. It loves sun.Helpful Reply

Brenda De Lair on Jun 18, 2014The close up of the leaves tells me it isn't Russian Sage. Their leaves are very different. Although it does look somewhat like the common sage. However, since you say it doesn't flower, I'm siding with the Artemesia crowd. If you google images for the two mentioned plants, you may have your answer.Helpful Reply

Vicki K on Jun 20, 2014That is not artemesia for sure, the leaves are too big - artemesa's leaves are fine and feathery and more whitish. The sage question you would have to google. Looks like a tumbleweed to me, before it dries up and blows away. Which she mentions gets strawy! I don't know the botanical name of tumbleweed, you might google it too. Bet that's it. I don't think it's sage, the form is too round?Helpful Reply

Dawn on Jun 21, 2014Looks like culinary sage to me. Does it get loaded up with fantastic purple flowers all summer and smell like sage? Mine is a bee and hummingbird magnet.

Dorothy on Jul 01, 2014Not Russian sage....leaves are wrong. Artemesia is a huge family of plants with a lot of different varieties ranging from Powis Castle to the Great Basin Sagebrush in the western desert areas. Most artemesia varieties don't have much in the way of flowers and in contrast to Louis L'amour, sage (the desert varieties) don't bloom purple. Culinary herbal sage is a different plant yet and does bloom more noticeably and some bloom purple/violet colored. Check with your local nurseries or agricultural extension agent.Helpful Reply
