Wormwood is a herb that has a distinctive aroma & herbaceous flavour. Wormwood can be found in the wild in most of the UK and parts of Ireland but is actually an Archaeophyte - not actually a native plant but has been here for many centuries, at least since the 12th century."For I had then laid wormwood to my dug" - Romeo & Juliet. Meaning the baby was weaned by putting wormwood on the nurse's nipples!In the garden, Wormwood planted strategically is toxic to a variety of garden pests. Organic gardeners will find Wormwood is very useful as a sentry, keeping slugs, snails carrot fly and many other pests.The plant is also known for its herbal and medical uses and of course for its use in Traditional absinthe recipes.

Growing Guide

Seeds can be sown indoors or out. But note that Wormwood seeds are incredibly tiny. If sowing outdoors take care! Best germination temperature is about 12-18c.

Sowing Indoors: Time sowing seeds in 9cm pots or seeds trays about 6-8 weeks before last expected frost. Scatter seeds loosely on soil surface and leave uncovered in a place where they will receive good light but not direct sun

Sowing Outdoors: Time sowing seeds directly on the surface of the soil when weather has warmed and all danger of frost has passed. 

Germination: Seeds will sprout as early as 7 days or take as long as 21 days. 

Once established in the garden, the plant will die back to the ground each autumn/winter then re-appear in the spring
