Reorganizing Gardens & House for Lower Maintenance

[Marie2020]

That’s a lot of wormwood to choose from!

@Marie2020 i saved your picture to my phone and Apple ID said it is ……. Artemisia. Yeah, we know that, but which one??

Hmm . Good question

 

[Marie2020]

Could it be? Artemisia absinthiumWormwood. It’s a beautiful silver grey blue color with lacy leaves. I’m not sure there are so many different types. You can opt for a plant ID app on line for your iPhone or other device.

I have wormwood in the garden it self seeds . I like to pick the tall 3-4’ stems in huge bunches and place in a dry container just for the fragrance to freshen up my home.
I have artemisia lidoviciana Western mugwort with striking lance-shaped, silvery-white blue/grey leaves.

Or contact your nearest ag.extension service for ID.

​

Thank you.
I may try adding some in a vase indoors to

Hi @Marie2020 the artemisia dries nicely and last for months. It reminds me of dollar eucalyptus …dries well, lasts for a long time too and have zero insects issues or moles, voles or gophers not even deer . Safe plants especially if have critter issues. And my garden is full of critter issues. The good and not so great.
