Properties and uses:
Common Wormwood is a bushy aromatic plant with silvery-green foliage. The leaves and stems give this plant its unique fragrance. Common Wormwood is a prolific bloomer, the tubular yellow flowers last all summer. Once settled, Common Wormwood doesn’t need much water and tolerates long periods of drought. In your vegetable garden, Wormwood manure is a good insect repellent against imported cabbageworm, the fly of beans seedlings and aphids. It is also a good fungicide against some kinds of rust. Finally, it repels snails and slugs.
