Mugwort is a perennial plant that can be found in waste places, ditches, bushy areas, and along roadsides and fences in Europe, Asia, and North & South America. In the U.S., it grows in the eastern states as far south as Georgia and as far west as Michigan. The downy, grooved stems grow from 1 to 5 feet tall and bear alternate, pinnate leaves that are green on top and downy beneath. The leaflets are linear to spatulate and coarsely toothered. In addition, there is a basal rosette of pinnate leaves that survive the winter. Small, greenish-yellow to red-brown flower heads grow in panicled spikes from July to October.
