Knepp Mugwort - Artemisia vulgaris
Mugwort is a native wildflower steeped in folklore. For hundreds of years it was made into garlands and hung over doors to deter evil spirits. It was used in place of hops for beer and as a moth and insect repellent. Part of the daisy family, it is covered in small white flowers from August to October. This one was a wildling I came across in the walled garden in September. It stood as a seed head, tall and handsome, against the softer gravel garden planting.
Drawn in natural ink on sustainably sourced handmade paper from Bhutan
Price is for unframed but can be bought framed in raw oak as shown. Please contact me henny@hennytate.co.uk for more details.
Size 640 × 890mm
