How to Cultivate Wormwood

1. Planting Time: Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost or sow directly in the garden after the frost danger has passed.
2. Location: Choose a sunny, well-drained spot. Wormwood prefers poor, dry soil and thrives in full sunlight.
3. Spacing: Space plants 12–18 inches apart to allow for adequate air circulation and growth.
4. Watering: Water moderately, ensuring the soil is well-drained. Wormwood is drought-tolerant once established.
5. Pruning: Trim back the plant to maintain its shape and prevent excessive growth. This helps encourage new, fresh shoots.
