Description

Artemisia absinthium, commonly called absinthe or wormwood, is a woody-based perennial that is grown for its attractive silver-gray foliage that adds interesting texture and contrast to gardens. It typically forms a clump of generally erect, non-woody, hairy, gray-green stems to 2-3’ tall.

Care

Best grown in poor to moderately fertile, dry to medium moisture, well-drained soils in full sun. Excellent soil drainage is essential for growing this plant well. Does poorly in moist to wet soils where plants are susceptible to root rot. Best grown in zones 5-11.

Growth Habit

The tiny flowers on a Wormwood are not all that spectacular and the elongation of the stems as they go toward bloom makes the plant start to fall apart. Reaches 2-3' tall and 1-2' wide at maturity. 

Toxicity

Contains thujone, a chemical compound that can cause nervous system toxicity, convulsions, or other adverse health effects if consumed in large or concentrated quantities.
