ARTEMISIA absinthium

Description

Small herbaceous perennial plant, it’s known since ancient times for its therapeutic properties and for the extraction of absinthe distillate. Leaves are large and deeply engraved. They are greenish grey on the upper page and white on the lower page. Flowers, which appear between July and September, are small, yellow and gathered in flower heads. The plant, which can grow one (or more) meter tall with great ease, is appreciated above all for its green-silver color.

Suggestions

Place the plant in a sunny position and in a poor or well-drained soil. Some occasional summer watering can improve the color of the foliage and for this reason it is chosen for borders and bushes in Mediterranean gardens.
