This plant with beautiful silvery leaves, also called "Green Fairy", was used to make an alcohol which was, at the time, the muse of Verlaine, Baudelaire, Van Gogh and the Gauguins of this world. At the heart of controversies, fabulous stories and legends, wormwood remains a strong psychotropic to keep discreetly in your garden.*This year, we were unable to harvest wormwood at our farm. These seeds come from the company Jardin Vie-La-Joie. MAINTENANCE AND OTHER CONSIDERATIONS Short pruning in the spring allows the plant to regenerate, but wormwood tolerates pruning well at all times. Insect repellent properties.
