pod said:FrillyLily ~ there are so many Artemisia varieties, you may well be able to find one that is better behaved for the application you are wanting.
In my limited experiences I'd grow it in a separate area and spread the leaves in the garden area as a bug repellant. I will be interested to see what you decide and how it works for you. Kristi
Wormwood is not a good companion in the garden, however. It contains large amounts of absinthin, a substance toxic to other plants. Absinthin is water-soluble and will wash off the leaves and into the soil. There it will inhibit the growth of nearby plants.
Frillylily said:so I understand the other Artemisias don't have that absinthin? I think "they" used to make a drink using that?
