Looking for mugwort seeds? Artemisia vulgaris is a hardy, aromatic perennial with finely cut, silvery-green foliage. It establishes easily from seed, tolerates a wide range of soils, and thrives in full sun to partial shade. Growing zone: USDA 3–8.

Why Choose Mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris)?

  • Aromatic foliage with a classic, naturalized look in the garden

  • Note on Spread: Spreads by rhizomes; use containers or root barriers if you prefer a contained planting

FAQs

Is mugwort invasive? How do I keep it contained?

Mugwort spreads aggressively by rhizomes. Plant in containers or use deep edging/barriers, remove unwanted runners, and deadhead to limit self-sowing. Always check local regulations before planting.

What growing zone is best?

USDA Zones 3–8. In colder zones, mulch crowns for winter; in hotter zones, provide afternoon shade and well-drained soil.

Does it need full sun?

It grows well in full sun and also tolerates partial shade.

How do I start mugwort from seed?

Surface sow on fine, moist seed-starting mix; do not cover. Keep evenly moist and provide light. Cold-stratify 2–4 weeks for best results; expect germination in roughly 2–3 weeks.
