Meet a silver-leaved herb that thrives where other plants struggle.
Carruth Wormwood is a hardy perennial herb known for its striking silver foliage. This plant is native to the dry, open plains of the central and western United States. Growing up to 0.7 meters tall, it makes a beautiful companion for plants like Sagebrush and Blue grama grass in sunny outdoor gardens.
Growing this aromatic herb is highly straightforward because it requires very little daily care. It thrives in full sunlight, needs very little water, and easily tolerates dry conditions. You can easily start new plants using seeds, cuttings, or by dividing the roots of an established clump.
During the summer and autumn, this plant becomes a lively hub for visiting bees. While its beautiful leaves are toxic to household pets, they bring a wonderful fragrance and texture to your outdoor space. It is a resilient choice for anyone looking to save water while supporting local pollinators.
