Absinthe
Artemisia absinthium
Absinthe wormwood is a tough, drought-tolerant herb that thrives in well-drained soil and full sun to partial shade. Water sparingly and avoid overwatering, as it is highly susceptible to root rot in wet conditions. Trim back in spring to encourage bushy, silvery-grey foliage and prevent it from becoming leggy.
