Common wormwood (Artemisia vulgaris)
Remarkable and decorative plant, with finely cut and aromatic silvery-green leaves, and white flowering in panicles. Recognized for its medicinal properties since antiquity, it thrives in well-drained, sandy, or rocky soils, such as road edges and wastelands. Attracting pollinators, its leaves emit enchanting scents of marjoram, rosemary, sage, and thyme. Traditionally appreciated for its digestive virtues, this herbaceous plant, originating from temperate regions like Europe, North America, and Asia, was once associated with women's health, hence its name Artemisia, derived from the goddess Artemis.
