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.
