Question
I have a dense stand of this growing in a sunny spot near my house in Massachusetts, crowding out other plants. I was thinking one of the weedy Artemisia or Ambrosia. There are no flowers yet.
Answer
Dear jfc, good afternoon. You have photographed Artemisia vulgaris (common wormwood), a member of the composite family. The leaves will be white-gray beneath with a dense layer of hairs and the foliage will be aromatic. This species has a lot of traditional uses in the herbal realm. I hope you are well.
