Artemisia serrata is a plant from North America. It belongs to the sunflower family. People often call it serrate-leaved sage or saw-tooth wormwood. You can find this plant mainly in the north-central United States. This includes states like Iowa, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and North Dakota. Sometimes, it also grows in New York State.
What is Artemisia serrata?
Artemisia serrata is a type of plant that lives for many years. We call plants like this "perennials." It can grow quite tall, sometimes reaching up to 300 centimeters (about 10 feet).
How Does It Look?
This plant usually has up to five stems. Its leaves are special because they are "bicolor," meaning they have two colors: white and green. It also has many small yellow flower heads. These "flower heads" are actually groups of tiny flowers that look like one big flower.
Where Does It Grow?
You can often find Artemisia serrata growing in open areas. It likes places like grasslands. It also grows in "barren areas" on high plateaus. Barren areas are places where not many plants grow, and plateaus are flat areas of land that are higher than the land around them.
