Mugwort 'Limelight'

Best grown in poor to moderately fertile soil. Dry to medium moisture, well drained soils in full sun to part shade. In high humidity summer climates the foliage tends to decline. Shear plants to revitalize. Spreads in the landscape by rhizomes.

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Limelight is thought of as half hardy, so remember to protect this plant from frosts and low temperatures.

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Limelight is a half hardy plant.

The genus is named for Artemis, Greek goddess of the moon, wild animals and hunting.¹

The leaves of this plant are edible, however, the taste is bitter and can be toxic if consumed in quantity. The leaves are scented and will repel insects fresh or dried.¹
