Absinthe: Sowing, planting and harvest calendar
How to sow wormwood successfully under cover?
Sow your wormwood under cover in spring, adjusting the date to your climate and the seed packet instructions. Use pots or a seed tray with drainage holes, filled with light, free-draining seed compost moistened before sowing.
Scatter the very fine seeds over the surface and gently press them against the compost without burying them deeply. Follow the supplier’s instructions for any covering. Place the seeds in good light; a temperature around 20 °C encourages germination. Keep the surface moist without standing water and avoid overheating in the sun.
After germination, provide good light and ventilation. Once seedlings have several true leaves and are large enough to handle, gently transplant them into individual pots. Let them root, then gradually harden them off outdoors before planting, avoiding severe frosts. Height alone is not enough to decide when to transplant.
