Plant Highlights

This lovely mounding sagebrush has a nice neat, dense form with aromatic gray green foliage. It's a great way to add texture, color contrast and fragrance in a drought-tolerant garden. Despite it's north coast origins we have found 'Montara' to thrive in hot inland conditions with almost no supplmental water. Some speculate that it is a natural hybrid between Artemisia calif. and Artemisia pycnocephala. This is fast beoming a landscaping favorite.

'Montara' was selected from a cutting at Montara Mountain by Roger Raiche and intorduced by Wildwood nursery in 1987.
