My small patch went crazy this year & I hate to waste it so if you would like some just let me know & pay the postage......I am going out today to cut some to dry but there is plenty for whoever wants it once dried....tell me about how much you want & I will do my best to give you that amount once dried....Michele'
*****note if you are just wanting a baggie in a normal size envelope then don't worry about the postage....for those who are wanting something like a big/really large envelope of small box helping with postage would be nice :)
 update...confused the southernwood with my wormwood, so am not out of southernwood to give...had enough for the ones who asked but now have tons of wormwood drying if interested...
The plant's characteristic odor can make it useful for making a plant spray against pests. It is used in companion planting to suppress weeds, because its roots secrete substances that inhibit the growth of surrounding plants. It can repel insect larvae when planted on the edge of the cultivated area. It has also been used to repel fleas and moths indoors.
I use it I wormwood to deter bugs & moths in little fabric bags & hang it in the chicken coop areas for the flies...

Thanks Michele. I have never used southernwood, but would like to give it a try. I'll make up a few fabric bags n I have five bird coops. I'll email address info.
Don't be sorry that it's over... Be glad that it happened. |

The southernwood herb is a semi-evergreen plant or shrub - reaching a hight of one to two meters. It belongs to the same genus (Artemisia) as wormwood, sea wormwood and tarragon.
It's a very old medicinal herb and very decorative. Grown in many places as an ornamental.
Southernwood has many branches, grey-green and pinnately divided leaves, and dense panicles of multiple tiny yellow flowerheads. However, flowering does not occur in cool summers.
there is a lemon scented one & a more earthy piney scented one like I have....it is used to repel insects such as flies & moths...it is good to hang in barns, chicken coops, dog houses anywhere flies are...in bags you can put it in closets or trunks with clothes to keep moths away
