Description

The suckering wormwood is a plant that is highly resistant to the cold, owing to its origins. Its delicate, upright foliage ranges from light green to greyish, depending on the exposure and soil type. The flower heads, which come in clusters of small yellowish flowerheads, are of little interest, and the plant benefits from being lightly pruned before flowering.
