Discover the captivating allure of Artemisia absinthium, commonly known as absinthium or common wormwood. This enchanting perennial is renowned for its striking silver-gray foliage that adds a unique texture and contrast to any garden. Native to the Mediterranean but naturalized in parts of the United States, this versatile plant graces landscapes with its aromatic, deeply-incised, pinnately-divided leaves. Standing 2-3 feet tall, its non-woody, hairy stems are adorned with delicate, yellowish-gray flower heads in summer. Ideal for borders, beds, or rock gardens, absinthium pairs beautifully with brighter blooms, toning them down with its subtle elegance.

Revel in its minimal care requirements: plant in well-drained, loamy soil under full to part sun for optimal growth. Space plants 5 feet apart, and pinch back in spring for a compact habit. Despite its proclivity for drier conditions, it thrives in moderately fertile soils where good drainage is assured. Keep it healthy by deadheading blooms to prevent self-seeding, and shear as needed to revitalize. Embrace the timeless charm of wormwood, cherished since antiquity, with its legendary aromatic allure and rich historical significance.
