Mugwort **Live Plant** (Artemisia vulgaris)

Mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris) is a hardy, aromatic perennial herb prized for its medicinal and ecological benefits. With dark green, lobed leaves and a silvery-white underside, this plant adds texture to herb gardens, borders, or patio pots. Historically revered as the “mother of herbs,” mugwort is used in traditional medicine to support digestion, regulate menstruation, and promote relaxation. Its insect-repellent properties make it a favorite for eco-conscious gardeners, attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies while deterring pests.
