Mugwort
Artemisia vulgaris 'Janlim' Oriental Limelight™ is a cultivar of the common herb mugwort and is used in gardens for its beautiful green and cream variegated foliage. Its leaves are aromatic, making them resistant to many pests including deer. The leaves can be dried and used as an insect repellent. This cultivar produces dense panicles of white flowers in late summer to early fall. Horticulturally speaking, this is an easy plant to care for but it does produce rhizomes and will spread aggressively if not properly maintained. Planting it in containers will help control unwanted growth and cutting the whole plant back mid-fall will prevent reseeding, curbing its invasive nature.
