Wormwood (Artemisia spp.)

Wormwood is a hardy, aromatic perennial grown primarily for its silvery-gray, feathery foliage rather than its flowers. It adds texture and contrast to garden beds and borders and is valued for its drought tolerance and deer resistance. While some species have historical medicinal or culinary uses, most ornamental varieties are used strictly for landscape appeal.
