    Do the seeds you send need to be “cold stratified” for the best germination?

      Hi Tim, No, mugwort is a simple warm soil germinator. Make sure the seed is not buried deeply, and tamp the planting. Richo

  2. Question

    I was recently told by another herbalist that you should harvest mugwort for tincturing when it’s 6 inches tall or less in the spring and after that it’s no good for internal use. I tried to look that up in Making Plant Medicine and you didn’t speak to Mugwort soecifically. Under Wormwood you said to harvest in early flowering stage. Woukd you recommend that for vulgaris also (common mugwort)? Thank you for your time and experience.

      Hi Christen, Thanks for writing. The best quality herb is harvested during the early flowering stage (page 200 “Growing Plant Medicine Vol 1.”) As the plant grows and matures each season, the resins and essential oils increase, up until seed stage. So, if someone recommends that you use the very young herb, it means they have a concern about excessive activity and are looking for a mild influence. This can also be controlled by means of dosage, especially if reduced to tincture form, in which case dosage can be carefully controlled. Richo

  3. Question

    Cynthia

    Hi There! Can you tell me if this is common mugwort? I bought seeds last year but didn’t appear to get anything to germinate and might have given up too soon. I always throw all seed starting medium in my vegetable garden and this came up this year and was different than anything else. It got to about 3 ft tall but never flowered so I cut it back and planted beets in that bed. These are starting from rhizomes. I hope it’s mugwort😊

      Hi Cynthis, this is mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris). All these things are going to look a bit different as immature seedlings vs full-blown adult plants. richo

    I am trying my hand at making Makgeolli. It says I have to wrap the Koji in mugwort. Doesn’t say if it has to be a certain type. Would this work?

      hi steven, yes, both Artemisia vulgaris and A. princeps are used for this. I think probably other species as well. r

      Due to new, extremely stringent regulations, we cannot successfully ship seeds to: The EU, Montenegro or Scandinavia, the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Arabia, Mexico, Central and South America or Africa. We still ship with some success to: Canada, Asia, and European countries not in the EU.

  7. Question

    Alexandru

    Hi there! I already have a well-established patch of Artemisia absinthum. Should I worry about cross pollination with the mugwort and what would be the result? what is the optimum distance to plant it in this case? thanks a lot!
