A Eurasian species, frequently established as an escape from cultivation to roadsides and adjacent fields, fencerows, yards, and disturbed sites. First collected in Kent Co. in 1884.
This is a spicy-aromatic plant, the bitter principle long in use medicinally although now generally illegal in beverages (as allegedly hallucinogenic and addictive).
