description for "Herbs: Artemisia vulgaris"
Mugwort was named for its use in flavoring drinks. Mugwort was gathered in flower and dried for later use in beer. Producing a dense bush this is one of the more ornamental members of the artemisia family. It bears finely lobed gray-green leaves with downy white undersides. The flowers are larger than most in the genus, with greenish yellow to brownish red panicled spikes. Unfortunately, this plant is an aggressive weed in the garden. Seeds are often brought in when you buy topsoil or compost! -- edited by dtd pbcouchman
