Question
This is planted in a tiny flower circle in central Connecticut. Please help identify. Many stalks/stems together, 18-24" tall. No flowers just yet? June 8, 2017. Hope it is a flowering plant? It's in a shaded side yard, but doesn't mean it was properly planted. I can tell they are there deliberately, because they only fill half of the circle. The roots grow sideways in the dirt. Help pls. I'm desperate (I have to keep tags on my plants, whereas previous owners did not leave info.) Thx.
Answer
Dear Dnv373, your plant may be Artemisia vulgaris (common wormwood), a member of the aster family. If you look on the undersurface of the leaves, you should see gray-white hairs that discolor the lower surface. Best wishes.
