Cultivation of indhana - Artemisia absinthium Linn.

indhana :

indhana : Artemisia absinthium Linn.

Cultivation:

The plant can easily be cultivated in dry soil. It should be planted under bright exposure in fertile, mid-weight soil. It prefers soil rich in nitrogen. It can be propagated by ripened cuttings taken in spring or autumn in temperate climates, or by seeds in nursery beds. A common consideration applies to growing the plant with others as it tends to stunt their growth; accordingly it is not considered to be a good companion plant. Artemisia absinthium also self-seeds generously. It is naturalised in some areas away from its native range, including much of North America and Kashmir Valley of India.





Propogation:

Seed germinate slowly; stem cuttings, division


Harvesting:

Cultivar Silver Ghost is a taller silver plant which flowers much later (August – September) than typical absinthium (June – July) in UK and therefore holds its silver appearance for longer. This and a more feathery leaved cultivar Persian Lace were selected by National Collection Holder John Twibell in the 1990s.
