Where does mugwort like to grow?

1. Growth Environment

Mugwort likes to grow on roadsides, riverbanks, hillsides or wastelands at low or medium altitudes. Its distribution area is very wide, and it can also be seen in forests and grasslands. Mugwort is grown in most areas of our country, but it cannot grow in relatively dry or high-altitude areas. It is not only common in my country, but also grows in Japan, the Soviet Union, North Korea and other places.

2. Morphological characteristics

The aroma emitted by mugwort is very strong, and the main root grows very obviously. Its stem can reach about 80-150cm and is brown or grayish brown. It has small soft hairs on its stems and branches, thick papery leaves, basal leaves with long petioles, and obvious veins on the leaves. The flowering and fruiting period is around July to October. The corolla is purple with a very slender style.

3. Cultivation Technology

The sowing method is often used for cultivation, and the time should be chosen in March. If you want to use the rhizome division method, try to do it in November. When cultivating, you need to choose a good planting site, apply some base fertilizer before sowing, and water it once after sowing.
