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.

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.
