Artemisia absinthium This plant is native to Europe. It is a woody perennial that requires a lot of room as it grows up to five feet tall. If its botanical name sounds familiar, it is probably because its extract is the basis of the notorious liquor, Absinthe. Starting from Seed: Artemisia absinthium seeds will normally only germinate with light, so surface sow seeds onto a well drained seed starting soil mix and lightly water in. Keep moist and at 17º to 20ºC (about 68ºF). Depending on the specific conditions, seeds will typically germinate in 14 to 30 days. Germination can be a little difficult but since each 0.1 gram packet of seeds contains approximately 1200 to 1400 seeds, you should get quite a few starts for your garden.
