Artemisia absinthium Wormwood

 

A young Wormwood Plant in the garden

Wormwood flowering

Wormwood is a highly aromatic ornamental herb with soft silvery leaves. Both photos show plants at the same age. However, the top picture shows a plant that was chewed off by rabbits twice during the first couple of months of its growth. It never did bloom, which is not necessarily a bad thing. The tiny flowers on a Wormwood really are not all that spectactular and the elongation of the stems as they go toward bloom makes the plant start to fall apart. So, the rabbit did us a favor by keeping our plants nicely manicured. The bottom photo shows a Wormwood plant that was left alone and has gone on to bloom.
