Artemisia douglasiana - Mugwort

Market price from $4.40 to $6.95

Artemisia douglasiana is more simply known as Mugwort, a stately and resilient perennial native to the western regions of North America. Displaying unparalleled versatility, this member of the Asteraceae family can thrive in an array of environmental conditions, from well-drained soil to nearly drought-like settings, testifying to its robust character. Its stature, reaching up to a formidable height of 6 feet, is adorned with deeply lobed, pinnate leaves of a rich, dark green hue, adding texture and depth to any landscape design. The late summer months usher in the arrival of tiny, yellow or reddish-brown disk flowers, whose delicate size belies their substantial impact on the scenery and works as a magnet for diverse pollinators. Beyond its ornamental charm, Mugwort modestly conceals a potent, sage-like aroma, dominating upon the crushing of its leaves; a distinct feature that doubles as a natural pest deterrent. Embrace Mugwort, not only for its environmental adaptability and aesthetic appeal but also for its role as a sentinel of ecological diversity.
