Seed packet size

Common wormwood forms a grey-green hedge. It grows in both poor, sandy soils and fertile, well-drained soils.

Artemisia absinthium is a perennial plant of the Asteraceae family, native to Europe, Asia, and North Africa. Its leaves are soft and grey-green, while the small yellow flowers appear in clusters. The seeds are small, black, and harvested in early autumn.

Historically, wormwood has been used as a medicinal herb to support digestion and treat certain gastrointestinal ailments. It has also been an ingredient in alcoholic beverages such as absinthe. Today, it is still used medicinally in some areas, though its use has declined. Caution and professional supervision are advised due to potential side effects and limited research on safety and efficacy.

For cultivation, wormwood requires full sun and well-drained soil. It is drought-tolerant and resistant to pests and diseases. It can be propagated from seeds or cuttings, and dividing the shrub every 3–4 years is recommended to keep it healthy.
