On very dry or sandy sites it produces a rosette of basal leaves in its first year and then bolts with central and lateral stems one to four feet high in its second year, possibly more. Artemisia caudata is the primary host of Clustered Broomrape, Orobanche fasciculata, a rare parasitic plant whose pale flowering stalk can be seen near its host in late spring or summer.
