I've heard of Mugwort but not Motherwort. But then again, I'm not an herb kinda guy!

Motherwort is a medicinal herb. It's used for "mother" or female ailments. The plants can be quite weedy and you shouldn't allow it to set seed unless you want tons of it. It's related to mint and looks a little like a mint with whorls of flowers in the leaf axils.

Hmmmm..."Female ailments", I guess if I wanted to grow an herb garden, this wouldn't be the one to start with!
