Artemisia (derived from the name Artemis, Olympian goddess) is a botanical genus of Eurasian origin containing more than 500 species, some of which are common in Western Europe (among the best known: Absinthe, Tarragon, Genépi).
Sweet Sagewort is a fast growing herbaceous plant with tender leaves, fresh green in color, very indented, and extremely aromatic (camphoric, fresh, resinous aromas, with a touch of acidity).
During Summer, Annual Mugwort branches out in its upper part and produces light inflorescences gathering many small, yellow-green pompom-like flower heads.
The tiny seeds (achenes) ripen in the Fall.

Control seed dispersal by preventing seed production (cutting plants when harvesting leaves) or place the upper part of the plant in a bag.
