Common Wormwood is a woody perennial grown for its attractive silver-grey foliage, which adds texture and contrast to the garden. The foliage is covered with silky white hairs and is very aromatic when crushed. The tiny, rather inconspicuous cream-coloured flower heads appear in dense, leafy, drooping panicles in late summer. A valuable border plant, it tolerates poor soils and is drought tolerant.
Commonly known as absinthe or wormwood, the species name Absinthium means 'without sweetness' in reference to the extremely bitter taste of the plant's sap. It is a very important species in the history of medicine, having been used in a variety of homeopathic treatments. In modern times, Artemisia has also become an object of biotechnological research. It is also an important spice and a valuable ingredient in the cosmetics industry.
