Sweet Grass, Hierochloe odorata: Known for its sweet-smelling leaves, Sweet Grass is a perennial that is used by indigenous peoples in North America. Commonly braided after being harvested as burned as ‘smudge.’ Sweet Grass does best in rich, moist soil and requires a minimum of 6 hours of sunlight a day. Mature Size: 1-2′ tall, spreading. Zone 3

Kinnikinnick (Bearberry), Arctostaphylos uva-ursi: Though they can be eaten raw, Kinnikinnick (also known as Bearberry) berries are dry and almost flavourless. However, cooked bearberries are delightful, as the cooking process brings out their sweetness. Excellent for making jams and preserves, as well as beverage flavouring. Mature Size: 3-6″ tall, spreading. Zone 2.

Sagebrush, Artemisia tridentata: Native to western and central North America. Narrow, evergreen, lance like silver-grey, aromatic foliage, accents inflorescence panicles of yellow disc-shaped blooms along stems in late summer. Gnarled growing habit. Tolerates rocky soils, drought and flooding. Medicinal properties. Mature Size: 3-5′ tall x 3-4′ wide. Zone 4.
