Artemisia Vulgaris Seeds - Mugwort / Common Wormwood - Medicinal Herb
The Mugwort herb plant is shrub-like and many herb gardeners grow it as a hedge. It is considered ornamental with late-summer flower clusters and attractive foliage. As a culinary herb, the leaves have a pleasantly bitter taste and are used for flavoring and as tea. Common Mugwort will grow nearly anywhere, and it is often seen growing along roadsides and in waste areas.

I do not have an indoor garden so I am waiting until spring to plant. I will try planting closer to Feb or March in small pods watering with spray bottle, and slowly introduce the plants to outdoor conditions.
