Mugwort, Indian

{India – Himalayan Mugwort , Surband} This attractive mugwort is native to Northern India. Attractive dark green, deeply divided leaves and small yellow flowers grow to 3 feet. An unusual cultivar of this useful and magical herb. Ayurvedic medicine traditionally uses Indian mugwort in formulas for stress and anxiety.

The lovely, strongly scented foliage makes a beautiful back border. Prefers full sun and is drought tolerant once established. Perennial. Hardy to zone 7.
