Chinese mugwort is a vigorous, spreading perennial herb that grows well in average to poor soils with minimal care once established. It prefers full sun to partial shade and is quite tolerant of varied moisture conditions, though it appreciates moderate watering during dry spells. Be aware that it can spread aggressively via rhizomes, so containment or regular division is recommended in garden settings.
