White WormwoodArtemisia herba-alba

Water moderately during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Reduce watering significantly in winter, providing only enough to prevent complete desiccation.

Overwatering can lead to root rot, especially in cooler temperatures. Ensure good drainage.

Prune annually in early spring before new growth begins to maintain shape and encourage bushiness. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing stems.

Light trimming can be done after flowering to tidy the plant and promote denser foliage. Avoid heavy pruning into old wood.

Easily propagated from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer or from seeds sown in spring. For cuttings, use a rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining medium. Seeds can be sown directly into pots or the ground.

Success rates are generally high.

White Wormwood generally prefers to be slightly root-bound and does not require frequent repotting. If repotting is necessary, do so in early spring.

Choose a pot with excellent drainage and use a well-draining, gritty compost mix. Avoid overly large pots.
