Mugwort Seeds - Herbal Plant for Home Gardens

Mugwort, botanically known as Artemisia vulgaris, is a hardy perennial herb valued for its aromatic foliage and vigorous growth. It develops upright, branching stems with deeply divided green leaves that have a silvery underside and produces small, inconspicuous flowers during the growing season. This plant adapts well to a wide range of climates and performs best in full sun to partial shade with well-drained soil. Mugwort is commonly used in herb gardens, borders, and naturalized planting, where it establishes readily from seeds and spreads under suitable conditions.
