Wormwood *Check Shipping restrictions*

I planted several around my veggie garden as a pest deterrent in 2017 and they outgrew my expectations! I transplanted them this past spring into a border (they have a long taproot so be careful!) to give them more room and they are even happier and more vigorous. Large mounds of frosty-green leaves that stay green long into the winter. They survived the long cold snap last winter when temps hovered around 0F. Give a trim back in the early spring and then just let them grow - low maintenance.

planted these in the spring on 2017 under my cedar trees and here it is april 2018 and they are nearly 12 inches tall or more and have stayed silvery green throughout the entire northeast PA winter so they are certainly a very hardy easy to grow plant and they smell good as well

These seeds sprouting quickly and easily, and the plants that emerged were strong, healthy and full of life. It's still winter here so I haven't placed them outdoors yet (and might keep them as indoor plants) but I thought I would just post a thanks to the company. Can't wait to grow the other seeds I ordered!

I've grown wormwood for about 4 years in my greenhouse, here in the northwest, and even though this last winter got pretty cold, it appears to be coming back again. I also had one planted indoors, by a large south facing window, and it grew beautifully there a few years, till I removed it. It doesn't require much care, just mainly some watering, and pruning, if it gets too big. It's a lovely thick lacey plant, with an interesting aroma that I like. I'd read that it helps keep animals from the deer family (moose here), from eating your garden...it said I could strew the plucked branches around the perimeter of my garden, but sad to say it didn't deter the moose. Nevertheless, I'm going to keep it going, because it will be a good backup, if the animals get worms, and it can be used for fungus, too. There's good info online about how to use wormwood for those purposes. It might be dangerous if you or your pet took too much, so do look online for safe recipes.

I am currently growing this herb in my greenhouse. It has been a wonderful addition and withstands some negligence. The greenhouse got a bit colder than intended and I forgot to water it quite a few times, but it is still standing strong and tall. The scent is a little strange and took some getting used to but not unpleasant.
