Artemisia douglasiana, commonly known as Douglas' sagewort or California mugwort, is a perennial herb in the Asteraceae family. It is native to western North America, particularly in temperate climates. This plant is a rhizomatous geophyte, meaning it grows from underground rhizomes. It has a history of use in traditional medicine and is known for its aromatic leaves.
Artemisia douglasiana thrives in temperate climates with moderate temperatures. It prefers bright, direct sunlight and should be watered when the soil is almost completely dry. The plant can tolerate moderate humidity levels and does best in well-draining soil. Regular pruning helps maintain its shape and encourages healthy growth.
