Add a touch of shimmering silver to your sunny garden beds with Carruth Wormwood.
Carruth Wormwood is a hardy, aromatic herb native to the dry plains of the central and western United States. Its striking silver leaves stay low to the ground, reaching under a meter tall at maturity. It pairs wonderfully with native companions like sagebrush and blue grama grass in open, outdoor spaces.
This perennial plant is remarkably easy to care for and loves full sunlight. It thrives on low watering and handles drought with ease once established. You can easily start new plants through seeds, stem cuttings, or by dividing older roots.
From summer into autumn, this tough herb brightens the landscape while attracting beneficial bees. Its naturally low-maintenance nature makes it a reliable choice for beginner gardeners. Just keep in mind that its leaves are not edible and the foliage is toxic to pets.
