ARSU4

Ecotype:
Central Oregon coast

General Distribution:
This species occurs near the coast in clay pockets on rocky shores, and to a lesser extent on the upper parts of sandy beaches. Its native range extends from southern British Columbia to California.

Known Invasiveness:

Propagation Goal:
plants

Propagation Method:
seed

Product Type:
Container (plug)

Stock Type:

Grow Time:
Weeks

Target Specifications:
Well-developed crowns, roots and rhizomes filling soil profile in container.

Propagation Collection:
Moderate. This species holds onto its seeds when mature, but seeds are sometimes damaged by pests. Plants are tall and relatively easy to locate. Cut flower stalks from the plant and place in paper bags to dry. Seeds per pound: 2,300,000

Propagation Processing/Propagule Characteristics:
Dry plant material is stationary combined to remove seed from the tiny flower panicles. Further cleaning is done with an air-screen machine to separate seed from any remaining plant material. High rates of purity are difficult to obtain for this species. In some seed lots it can be challenging to distinguish between filled and unfilled seed.

Pre-Planting Propagule Treatments:
Artemisia suksdorfii will germinate without a treatment prior to placement in a warm (75F) greenhouse, however, a 2 week treatment of cold/moist stratification may be beneficial.
