Why experienced gardeners plant wormwood on their plots. You will do the same
Experienced gardeners have been planting wormwood on their plots of land for a long time now. Not without reason.
It turns out that this plant brings great benefits in various directions.
It is most often used as a hedge, especially in regions with hot and dry climates.
From an aesthetic point of view, the plant improves the appearance of the garden.
According to the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , wormwood looks especially good in combination with darker or burgundy foliage.
From a practical point of view, wormwood is used as a kind of insect repellent.
It scares away the latter with its pungent smell, which the small garden pests cannot stand.
And many birds, for example, sparrows, starlings, eagles, bring wormwood into their nests – this is how they get rid of fleas and ticks.
If we talk about the compatibility of wormwood with other plants, then first of all it is worth noting its “friendship” with bellflowers, lavender and santolina.
In addition, roses will also be good neighbors for it - the latter will receive protection from aphid attacks.
Since wormwood responds well to pruning, the plant can be shaped into small balls.
This way you get an original decoration for your country landscape.
