HOW DO sagebrush IN YOUR GARDEN GROW?
Most plants are sagebrush perennials and grow best from cuttings, not seeds. Sweet Annie is the exception, being a self-seeding annual. Although you can buy tarragon seeds, you can not grow true tarragon from them. Wormwood and Southernwood and tarragon (the last not winter-hardy in many places) are woody perennials that grow green again each year, the new timber last year, I cut the dead wood from them. Cronewort is a perennial invasive creeping underground, it dies to the ground each year and can be heavily exploited (clear cuts are ok) without damage to its productivity more prolific.
Most Armoises require little care. The lack of soil nutrients and lack of water does not discourage them. Many come from the deserts, and how to thrive in warm and dry. Except for tarragon, all can overwinter without fuss.
The flowers are often small and green, in other words, almost invisible.
