Ready to plant

Artemisia abrotanum is an aromatic plant that resembles a fruticose subshrub, with a woody base, over-wintering buds held above the ground, and a shrubby appearance. The herbaceous parts die back annually, while the woody parts survive and flower the following year. It has a strong, distinctive aromatic scent, similar to that of citronella or slightly camphoraceous citron.

It reaches a maximum height of 50–80 cm. The leaves are cauline, large, and divided into several narrowly linear segments, dark green with greyish tints. The inflorescences consist of small, drooping flower heads arranged in leafy terminal panicles.

Its area of origin is uncertain, but the plant is probably native to southern Europe, possibly Spain. In Italy, it is considered a widely naturalized species.

It grows on waste ground, in ruderal habitats, on embankments and roadsides, and also in cultivated gardens, mainly in hilly areas.

According to folk medicine, this plant has antiseptic properties. In ancient times, it was used to treat liver, spleen, and stomach problems. Today, it is rarely used in medicine.

Small quantities of the slightly pungent leaves are used to flavour herbal liqueurs, herbal teas, sweets, and stuffings (although they are very bitter). A bitter tea is made from the young shoots.

This plant grows well in dry, sunny soils with a fairly fertile clay-limestone substrate.

In summer, from June to August, it produces small drooping flower heads of a yellow-green colour, clustered in leafy terminal panicles.

Aromatic shrub that loves full sun. It grows well in arid and sunny soils, on a fairly fertile clay-limestone substrate. It is frost-hardy down to -10°C.

WHAT MAKES OUR PLANTS DIFFERENT

Long anti-spiraling vases

A traditional lawn is a fragile monoculture: it drinks thousands of liters of water every summer, needs mowing every week, and turns yellow as soon as you neglect it. An alternative lawn turns this logic on its head: instead of grasses, we use Mediterranean groundcovers selected in our nursery—low, dense, and hardy plants, born for hot and dry climates.

The result is a green, walkable carpet that blooms for months, withstands drought, salt spray, and frost, and reduces watering and maintenance by 80%. It is not an aesthetic compromise: it is a more beautiful, more vibrant lawn that is more honest with the environment.
