Sagebrush Steppe Plants 42 Roger Rosentreter Early (alkali) sagebrush (Artemisia longiloba) looks very similar in color and structure to little sagebrush. It is a low growing shrub that typically occupies rocky, shallow, and poor-draining soils. Early sagebrush flowers very early in the season compared with other sagebrush species. It is a highly palatable species and is the dominant sagebrush on some of the largest leks in Idaho. Stiff sagebrush (Artemisia rigida) grows from 12 to 16 inches tall on very shallow soils. It has brittle or stiff branches and is deciduous. Stiff sagebrush sites can provide sage-grouse with late brood-rearing habitat because the sites are often wet enough to support a large diversity of forbs.

This map shows sagebrush distribution throughout Idaho. It does not show distribution of every species, only the dominant species in each geographic area. For example, if an area is labled “mountain big sagebrush”, it may also contain other species.
