Artemisia indica
Also called Korean Wormwood, Mugwort
Artemisia indica is a hardy perennial herb in the daisy family, native across much of Asia and often found on roadsides, forest edges and scrub. It is grown for its aromatic foliage and is best given a sunny spot with well-drained soil.
Artemisia indica, the Indian wormwood, is a widespread species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae. It is native to the Indian Subcontinent (except Bangladesh), mainland Southeast Asia, China (except Xinjiang and Qinghai), Taiwan, the Philippines, Korea, the Ryukyu Islands, and Japan, and it has been introduced to Peninsular Malaysia. In the wild it is typically found alongside roads, on slopes, in forest edges, and in scrublands at elevations below 2,000 m (6,600 ft).
