This adaptable plant is known for thriving in challenging conditions, making it a dependable choice for home gardeners seeking a low-maintenance, resilient herb.

Traditionally used in East Asian cuisine for its unique flavor and aroma, Mugwort also contributes to a healthier garden ecosystem by attracting beneficial insects. Its upright growth habit and textured foliage add visual interest to herb gardens, borders, and container plantings.
