Category: Plants

A hardy and vigorous shrub with small white flowers and creamy variegated foliage that has been used for its medicinal purposes for centuries but is now commonly used in meat stuffing mixes and as an insect repellent due to its slightly bitter taste. Mugwort will grow in sunny, dry conditions and will tolerate drought and frost. Remove flowers prior to seeding to prevent spreading, cut back hard and fertilise after flowering to promote new growth and keep the plant looking its best. Grows over 1m and can be pruned to keep dense.

Ava A. ★★★★★

I've been using this in my roasted chicken stuffing and the white flowers add such a nice visual pop alongside the flavor. The plant itself is incredibly easy to grow and spreads just enough to be useful without taking over.

Riley V. ★★★★★

I've been using the leaves in my roast chicken stuffing and the flavor is much more aromatic than regular herbs. The plant arrived well-rooted and is already putting out new creamy-edged leaves.

Nicholas ★★★★★

The variegated leaves are even more striking in person, with a creamy edge that really brightens the garden. I’ve already used a few leaves in a pork stuffing mix and loved the subtle herbal note. This mugwort is definitely tough—it handled a week of neglect after planting without any fuss.
