'''''Artemisia vulgaris''''' ('''mugwort''' or '''common wormwood''') is one of several species in the genus ''[[Artemisia (plant)|Artemisia]]'' which have [[common name]]s that include the word mugwort. This species is also occasionally known as ''Felon Herb'', ''Chrysanthemum Weed'', ''Wild Wormwood'', ''Old uncle Henry'', ''Sailor's Tobacco'', ''Naughty Man'', ''Old Man'' or ''St. John's Plant'' (not to be confused with [[St John's wort]]). It is native to temperate [[Europe]], [[Asia]] and northern [[Africa]], but is also present in [[North America]] where it is an [[invasive species|invasive]] weed. It is a very common plant growing on nitrogenous soils, like weedy and uncultivated areas, such as waste places and roadsides. It is a tall [[herbaceous]] [[perennial plant]] growing 1–2 m (rarely 2.5 m) tall, with a woody root. The [[leaf|leaves]] are 5–20 cm long, dark green, pinnate, with dense white [[tomentose]] hairs on the underside. The erect stem often has a red-purplish tinge. The rather small flowers (5 mm long) are radially symmetrical with many yellow or dark red petals. The narrow and numerous capitula (flower heads) spread out in [[racemose]] [[panicles]]. It flowers from July to September. {{Inc| Artemisia vulgaris, Linn. Mug- Wort. Herb, erect, paniculatelv branched, the sts. often purplish: Lvs. white-cottony beneath but soon green above, 2-pinnately cleft, with lanceolate lobes; upper Lvs. sometimes linear: heads many, oblong, yellowish. Eu. and N. N. Amer., and naturalized in eastern states.—A white-fld. form has been sold as A. lactiflora. It is a beautiful plant with fragrant foliage.—-Mug- wort is grown for the ornament of its foliage. There are variegated-lvd. and golden-lvd. varieties. It was once a domestic remedy.
