More northerly here in Western NY State. This is my time of the season to focus on the veggie garden and not herbs. But in another month when the veggie garden is on auto-pilot except for harvesting and weeding with the occasional watering, I'll begin to harvest herbs and start seed-saving. That will go through the fall. Most of my wildcrafting is of non-native "weeds" or natives that have very secure and robust populations - which counts out too many of the "shade-growing perennial medicinals" here. Loss of habitat is a very huge concern. It's all turned into housing here. Even farmland is vanishing quickly. When speaking about wild herbs to people I encourage people to plant the native plants they wish to use, practice stewardship, and use more common plants in the herbal remedies. Sorry, I guess I can't share the cool and rare stuff I'm picking with you because I never do that. It's all stuff I've grown (native & not), mundane "weeds" like dandelion, or common wild plants like wild strawberry (leaf). FataMorgana

Looks like Trifolium arvense, Hare's Foot Clover or Rabit's Foot Clover. Not native in the US and apparently an invasive species in some areas. Here is a link that might be useful: Trifolium arvense

I posted a message on the Herb Forum about growing uncommon or little known wild herbs with medicinal qualities. Since I'm not too familiar with these things, any herb seed that's relatively easy to grow and native to zone 5, 6, or 7 is good. I have veggie and flower seeds I can trade. E-mail me and I'll send you my "HAVES" list. Thanks, Abby

I suspect your plant might actually be mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris), which is very common in New England. The flowers of mugwort are pretty similar to those of white sagebrush, but the leaves are different. The link below has photos of muwort, including the leaves.
