A European native, grown for its foliage and occasionally established along roadsides, banks, and other sandy open disturbed sites. First collected in 1912 in Cheboygan Co.
The lacy blue- or ashy-green foliage is attractive; the plant rarely forms flowers in our area, but the feathery shoots are distinctive in the short segments of the dissected leaves, which are ± tomentose on both surfaces. It forms colonies from creeping rhizomes.
