Artemisia japonica is a perennial herb that grows in sunny fields and on mountains, characterized by its almost hairless appearance. Leaves on the stems that do not set flowers measure 3.5-8cm long, spatulate-shaped, with dentations on the upper halves. Branches to put flowers grow to 0.5-1m in height; leaves on the middle parts are generally spatulate-like, cuneate-shaped; some have dentations on the upper halves, and some are pinnately cut in variable ways. Flower heads, 1.5cm in diameter, are oval and set in a panicle. Bloom time: August-November.
