Greetings,
I've one black cohosh in the north garden. Purple leaves, white flower spikes. Doing well. Is it known as "Mugwort" or am I mixing that up?

Mugwort is Artemisia vulgaris not cimicifuga, so you are mixing up the terms.
And black cohosh is Actaea racemosa or black bugbane. I guess cimicifuga is a synonym and I'm not sure which is the 'correct' term as they keep changing them!
