(Artemisia vulgaris) Perennial. Hardy in zones 4-10.

Enjoy the magical, medicinal and marvelous Mugwort! For centuries, Mugwort has been used in teas, tinctures and poultices to alleviate a range of ailments. On a spiritual level, it has been said to help connect with the divine feminine within, opening our untamed selves, deepening meditation practices and lucid dreaming. As a plant, once established, it’s a fairly carefree perennial, growing 4 to 6 feet tall, and is excellent as a borderline or hedge. Do keep an eye on your Mugwort patch, as it’s a vigorous grower and can self-seed quite readily.
