About this item

Botanical Profile: Wormwood (Artemisia absinthium) is a perennial herbaceous plant native to Europe, northern Africa, and western Asia, characterized by its silvery-green leaves and bitter aroma, belonging to the Asteraceae family.
Historical Use: Wormwood has been used for centuries in traditional medicine to assist with digestive issues, fevers, and parasitic infections, and is famously known as a key ingredient in the production of absinthe.
Active Compounds: Wormwood contains a bitter compound called absinthin, along with thujone, a volatile oil that can be toxic in high doses, contributing to its medicinal and psychoactive properties.
Medicinal Benefits: It’s traditionally valued for stimulating appetite, aiding digestion, and acting as an anthelmintic (expelling parasitic worms), though scientific evidence supporting these uses varies.
Quality: All Wormwood seeds packaged by Seed Needs are intended for the current and the following growing seasons. All seeds are stored in a temperature controlled facility that is free of significant amounts of moisture.
Quantity: Seed Needs offers generous quantities. You can share with friends and family, or you can save the extra seeds until the following season, if properly stored.

Grow a garden filled with the heirloom herb Wormwood, from freshly harvested Artemisia absinthium seeds. Wormwood is an ancient heirloom that dates back to Egyptian times. Mainly used as a medicinal herb to rid the body of worms, Wormwood also serves to aid in digestion and to stimulate the digestive system as well. These plants also have insect repelling properties to keep moths away. The plants themselves will reach a mature height of roughly 36 to 48 inches tall, and can spread a good 2 feet wide. The attractive plants can also act as an ornamental, displaying silver green leaves throughout the Spring and summer seasons.

Wormwood herbs are mainly categorized as a perennial herb. Perennials such as this will establish a deep root system, which it can use to maintain growth year after year. When the Winter season arrives, your plant life will begin to wilt on the surface, but the roots will remain alive and dormant until the following growing season.

Sowing The Seed

Wormwood seeds are extremely tiny and are best established in a controlled environment, for transplanting later on. Having said this, the seeds can be started indoors, in peat pots, 6 to 8 weeks prior to the last frost. Scatter the tiny seeds to the surface of the soil, in groups of 3 to 5 per pot. Leave them uncovered, since they will require direct lighting to germinate properly. Transplant or direct sow outdoors when the weather is warm and all danger of frost has passed.

Growing Conditions

Wormwood will thrive in an area of partial shade, with temperatures of at least 70F. The soil can be dry and poor, or fertile, just make sure that your sowing area is well drained. To improve drainage, we recommend adding a light compost to areas that contain hard, compact soil. Water the seeds daily, with a mist setting, until germination occurs.

Germination & Growth

Wormwood seeds can take anywhere between 7 to 21 days to successfully germinate. The plants will reach a height of roughly 3 or 4 feet tall, and can spread a good 2 feet wide. They can be spaced about 18 to 24 inches apart from one another. Wormwood has a bush like growth habit, displaying thousands of silver, green leaves. To harvest, simply cut the upper green portions, leaving behind thicker, woody stems for regrowth to occur.

I planted these seeds on May 22nd, and just five days later, they’ve already begun germinating. According to the back of the packet, it usually takes 7 to 21 days for the seeds to germinate, so these seeds are definitely viable!

Harder to grow but it is warm wood. Definitely took longer than I expected to see something grow. Still waiting for it to fully grow and say it’s worth the wait. Wormwood is bitter would not recommend just eating it on its own.
