Mugwort

This herbaceous perennial grows 1-3 ft tall, and is a choice foliage plant.

Its aromatic leaves are dark green on top and silvery beneath, which provides nice contrast.  In the garden, use Mugwort in a lush, riparian setting.  Plant tolerates more shade and heavier soils than other sagebrushes.

Historical uses include its use as a tea to soothe poison oak rashes. Though we haven’t tried this yet, this plant is also reported to produce lucid dreams when placed under your pillow.
