Artemisia absinthium Lambrook Silver forms a highly aromatic, compact bush with elegant, finely divided, silver-colored, evergreen foliage.


The leaves are silver grey, covered in silky, white-silver hairs and numerous oil glands, which give the Artemisias their characteristic bitter-sweet fragrance.

They are particularly beautiful on this variety as they are grey-silver on the top and nearly entirely white on the bottom. And silky soft.

The flowers are also remarkable for an Artemisia - they are small, tubular, creamy-white and form into drooping flower heads.


💡 This variety is particularly ornamental - both in the garden, indoors and in a floral arrangement.

    • When dried, wormwood repels insects, making it a practical addition to bouquets
    • If the frost gets at the top leaves in the winter, don't worry! New buds from the lower stem will sprout again in spring.

NOTA BENE : Wormwood contains thujone, a neurotoxic compound that can be harmful in high doses. It can cause seizures, hallucinations, or nervous system issues if consumed excessively.

Gardening Tips
The Botany

Traditionally, Artemisia vulgaris was used as a remedy for a variety of complaints, especially those of a gynaecological nature - this ranges from menstrual cramps, to bleeding, to pre, during and post-pregnancy troubles.

For this reason, the wormwood genus bears the name of the Greek goddess of childbirth, Artemis. Who has always been my favorite goddess - I have had a statue of her since I can remember.

'Lambrook Silver' is a cultivar of Artemisia absinthium, which means that all of the essential oils in its foliage are the same as from the parent plant - so extractions and distillations can be done with this cultivar.
