Note: mugwort plant will be sent out bare rooted and will need to be planted upon arrival. It is an easy to care for plant – this should not pose a problem!
Wormwood is a cold-hardy perennial that thrives in sunny positions. It prefers dry, poor soils and requires minimal watering once established. Be aware, it can become weedy if not managed.
Historically, wormwood has been used for digestive issues, Crohn’s disease, malaria, pain relief, arthritis, and as a treatment for parasites. It is also an ingredient in absinthe (though Artemisia pontica is another species used in absinthe). Always consult a qualified herbalist, as wormwood contains thujone, can thin the blood, and may cause kidney problems if misused.
Wormwood is a natural insect and rodent repellent. It is ideal for planting around chook pens or garden borders to deter pests naturally.
