I have a whole tray of Mugwort to plant -- where should I put it? I
know it grows tall and that's not a problem, but I sometimes let my
horses near my gardens -- is it a problem that they might eat it?

Part shade? All sun? East, West, South or North? Any
recommendations? There's nowhere I can plant it that I don't really
care if it takes over but what will be the best place for it?

My soil is mostly Indiana clay. Zone 5.

It's invasive and toxic. If I had an animal which could even
potentially snip a bit and chew, I'd eliminate it from my garden.

And yet it's not listed in HORSE OWNER'S FIELD GUIDE TO TOXIC PLANTS and
they seem to have EVERYTHING in there -- even things that are mildly toxic.
Hmm.

It may not be toxic to horses, but I wouldn't put it where animals
could eat it as graze. Horses may not bother with it because of its
strong aroma, but a pinch of precaution...
