Cultivation method:

Sow seeds directly into the ground in spring when the soil is warm, or start them indoors 6 to 8 weeks before the last frost. Spread the seeds on the surface of the soil without covering them, as they need light to germinate. Maintain a temperature of 18 to 22 C and keep the soil slightly moist. Transplant the seedlings 60 to 80 cm apart in well-drained soil, ideally in full sun.

Prune the plant as needed to limit its expansion and prevent it from becoming too invasive. Wormwood prefers poor soils and requires little watering once established. This hardy plant is drought tolerant and attracts few pests, while repelling pests such as aphids.
