Roman Wormwood

Post by sparty123 »

I'm having a hard time trying to find a source for some Roman wormwood (artemisia pontica) for the coloring stage of my absinthe and was hoping someone could point me to a supplier that actually carries it. A search brought up an old thread saying that cascadeherbs.com had it, but their website doesn't seem to exist anymore, and google brought back nothing. Thanks in advance!

Try this source, I haven't used it but some of our absinthe members have.

Roman wormwood is really easy to grow, although it's a little tough to get it started. You can buy a young plant from Sandy Mush herbs for about five bucks:

One of these in a two gallon pot in a sunny spot will produce a substantial amount of coloring material in the first year.
