|discussion=<p><i>Artemisia rigida</i> is an important successional species following fires because the plants form new shoots from the underground caudices. This characteristic aligns the species with other ‘sprouters’ in the subgenus, namely <i>A. cana</i>, <i>A. tripartita</i>, and <i>A. arbuscula</i>.</p>
