Alpine Wormwood Description
Inhabiting rocky outcroppings and the gravelly areas
beside rivers in Europe, the Alpine Wormword
(Artemisia umbelliformis) is found throughout
the Alps and Northern Apennine mountain regions. This
herb is also commonly known as the
Alps Wormwood.
The Alpine Wormwood plant is a perennial grower, and
normally does not grow above 20 cm in height. This herb
grows very well in Zone
4, and is hardy enough to grow well in poor nutritionally
deficient soil. Alpine Wormwood can
grow in both moist and dry soil, but if moist, it needs
to be well-drained. It does not grow well in shade and
will need direct sunlight to flourish.
Alpine Wormwood is used with other
herbs in teas, and the leaves can be
used as a condiment to flavour foods.
