Siberian Wormwood

Siberian Wormwood needs to be watered regularly, but not too much. The best way to water this plant is by applying a deep, slow watering once or twice a week. Avoid wetting the leaves and instead direct the water to the soil around the plant. During the summer, water more frequently to keep the soil moist. In the winter, reduce watering, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

Siberian Wormwood (Artemisia laciniata) grows well in full sun. It prefers long days of direct sunlight, around 6-8 hours per day, that should not be interrupted with shade. It performs best in regions with high sun exposure but can tolerate partial shade too. It should be placed in an area where it gets the most sun in the summer, but be careful not to let it get too hot. Generally, it does best if it has the sunniest conditions in the morning and be shaded by late afternoon.

Siberian Wormwood (Artemisia laciniata) should be pruned twice during the season - once in late winter (February-March) and then again in late summer (August). Pruning in the late winter will primarily be used to shape your plant, while the late summer pruning will help to stimulate bushy new growth while also keeping the plant from becoming too tall and straggly. When pruning in late winter or early spring, use pruning shears to remove any old, dead, or diseased stems, as well as any spent flowers. You can also selectively prune out older stems to reduce the height of the plant and promote bushier growth. In the late summer, reduce the length of all stems after flowering has finished, taking care to preserve strong buds at the base of the stem. You can also selectively prune branches that are getting too long. These simple pruning techniques will help keep your Siberian Wormwood plant looking healthy and attractive.
