Varieties
1 entriesArtemisia vulgaris is a perennial with lobed green leaves and woolly undersides.
Flowers and foliage
Underground rhizomes allow it to spread beyond the original stem clump, so seed formation is not its only means of persistence. Small greenish-yellow to reddish-brown flower heads form panicles above the foliage. This combination distinguishes it from annual Artemisia references.
Lobed leaves and underground spread
Mugwort is the listed species reference for herb-seed resellers.
