Artemisia vulgaris (mugwort)

Mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris) is a common herbaceous perennial in the Asteraceae from Eurasia that spreads via both seeds and rhizomes to form dense stands in disturbed sites. Although individual plants are often easy to pull up, rhizomes remain in the ground and continue to propagate.
