Grow Wormwood (Artemisia absinthium), a classic perennial herb valued for its striking silver-green foliage, distinctive aroma, and versatility in the garden. Known for its role in absinthe production, Wormwood offers both ornamental beauty and practical benefits as a natural pest deterrent. Its drought resistance and ability to thrive in full sun or partial shade make it a resilient and low-maintenance choice for herb gardens, borders, or containers.
Hardy, Aromatic, and Easy to Grow:
- Perennial herb with silvery-green leaves and a strong, pleasant scent
- Thrives in full sun but tolerates partial shade and poor soils
- Drought-tolerant once established; suitable for container gardening
- Naturally deters certain garden pests with its intense aroma
Culinary and Traditional Uses:
- Best known for its use in crafting herbal liqueurs
- Adds a distinctive bitter flavor to select culinary and herbal recipes
- Used traditionally for its potential digestive and wellness benefits*
- Should be used sparingly and with caution due to its potency
How to Grow Wormwood:
- Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost or sow directly outdoors once the soil warms.
- Lightly press seeds into the surface without covering, as they need light to germinate.
- Water moderately—avoid overwatering, as Wormwood prefers dry to medium soil conditions.
- Once established, trim occasionally to encourage bushy growth and prevent woodiness.
*Use responsibly and for short durations only; not for pregnant or nursing individuals.
