Yes, the undersides are covered in a bit of white fuzz... the Mugwort identification I have found online matches for all except that my plant has a green stem, and apparently mugwort has a reddish purple stem. Also, I just returned from visiting a friend out on the coast, and she had this as well in her field - however with her plant, it looked like the old flower stalks from last year were still sticking out in places, and the dried remains appear to have been a a pretty bushy flower (elongated cluster form?) Her plant was definitely over 6 feet also, so now my plant seems small!
Here is a close up of the stem, and the undersides of some leaf is somewhat visible...I guess I would want to describe the undersides as more "fuzzy" than "whitish."
