Each packet contains 0.1 grams, which is about 1,200 - 1,400 seeds.
Also called Absinthe, Wormwood 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.

Germination can be a little difficult but since each packet of seeds contains approximately 1200 to 1400 seeds, you should get quite a few starts for your garden.
