- Western Mugwort, like most others in the genus, is notorious for its variable foliage. Spring growth looks decidedly different from summer growth. If only looking at the leaf characteristics, the plant growing in low-elevation appears differently from its north-country kin. The entire leaves are occasionally lobed or serrated and alternate along the stem. New foliage can be bluish-green or silver-gray in hue. Flowers are inconspicuous and form noticeable terminal spikes inter-mixed with small leaves. When flowering the plant is upright and reaching for the sun, although it is not uncommon for flowering branches to droop in response to stem weakness or weighty flower spikes. This plant like other Artemisias is very fragrant and when the leaves are crushed they emit a characteristic Sage-like smell.
Harvested with precise timing and delicately shade-dried in clean mountain air, our smudges are energized and always fresh.
