Mugwort
Artemisia vulgaris
Mugwort is a perennial weed that spreads aggressively through extensive rhizomes and by seed. It forms mono-specific stands anywhere soil is disturbed. Thrives in sun but tolerates shade.
How to Control
Mow or cut to ground every 2-3 weeks for 2 years. Pulling may result in more plants since it regenerates from its extensive rhizomes. Cut to prevent seedheads from forming.
