Habitat & Cultivation Artemisia californica needs full sun and likes to grow on west and north slopes. It needs little water and prefers no water in the summer months; it does not seem that soil types affect plant growth much. This plant relies on fires for seed germination and burned plants can crown-sprout and keep growing. It is also allelopathic: it secretes chemicals into the ground which inhibit other plants from growing near and around the shrub. The suppression of growth of one plant species by another due to the release of toxic substances (Webster 1983). ...
Animals rarly eat Artemisia californica, but it does provide good cover for smaller birds and other animals that can fit between its stems.
Uses Although Artemisia californica is not a true sage, it can be used in cooking as a spice and can also be made into tea. It has also been used in the past for a treatment to fight coughs and colds.
This shrub is also used to rehabilitate disturbed sites of degraded coastal sage scrub.
