Upright, lemon-like scenting shrubby perennial, 0.30-1m high, native to Southeast Europe, West Asia, naturalized in Europe, North America, cultivated elsewhere; stems woody at the base; leaves green to grey-green, pinnately divided, narrower than 1mm at the tips, tomentose at the lower surface; tiny pale yellow flowers in dense panicles.

„Artemisia abrotanum has been widely cultivated in gardens for old-time uses such as a fly and parasite repellent. It has had a renewed popularity in xeriscape gardening; it is drought tolerant and can fill difficult garden spaces (e.g., dry rocky slopes). Reports of naturalization may be exaggerated; it is not known to become weedy in any of its known locations in North America.“ http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=1&taxon_id=242304354

From the essential oil from leaves of A.abrotanum about 40 different components were identified by gas chromatography and mass spectrometry. The production of essential oil by the leaves (6-9 mikrol/g dry weight) did not show any distinct seasonal dependence, main component was 1,8-cineole (20-60%).
