Artemisia vulgaris aka Mugwort

Artemisia vulgaris, commonly known as mugwort, is a herbaceous or shrubby plant that grows throughout Europe, Western and Central Asia, North Africa, and has also taken root in North America. Mugwort is a perennial weed in the daisy family that can form dense mats and has been listed as invasive in several states. Mugwort has several names, including riverside wormwood, felon herb, chrysanthemum weed, wild wormwood, old Uncle Henry, sailor's tobacco, naughty man, old man, or St. John's plant (not to be confused with St John's wort). The plant has been used both medicinally and as a culinary herb. Mugwort is a branching plant with a cone-shaped appearance that can reach up to 8 feet in height, but usually grows about half as high. The stem is leafy, straight, and brownish with a purple shade, while the rhizome is creeping and thickened in the upper part. The leaves are soft, green, and appear white-silver due to the dense fluff at the lower part. The flowers are small, yellow, or brownish, collected in loose panicle-shaped inflorescences, and seed fruits ripen from July to October.
