• Traditionally used in herbal teas, smudging, and companion planting.

How to Grow Mugwort from Seed

Best Time to Plant: Early spring through to early autumn.

Sun & Soil: Prefers full sun or part shade with well-drained soil.

Spacing: Leave about 30–60 cm between plants for good airflow.

Planting Steps:

1. Scatter the seeds lightly over the surface—don’t bury them, as they need light to germinate.
2. Press them gently into the soil but leave them uncovered.
3. Keep the soil moist until seedlings appear, usually in 10 to 20 days.
4. Once the plants take off, water sparingly—mugwort doesn’t need much attention.

Tip: If you want to keep it from spreading too much, trim it back regularly.
