One last comment as I am still researching the Artemisia varieties while looking for IDs. I read that the one that affects other plants growth habits is A. absinthium, the true Wormwood.

One of my herbal books states:

Wormwood is not a good companion in the garden, however. It contains large amounts of absinthin, a substance toxic to other plants. Absinthin is water-soluble and will wash off the leaves and into the soil. There it will inhibit the growth of nearby plants.
