    Sweet Annie wormwood is a non-toxic herb; however, in instances where large quantities have been ingested, you should definitely consult the vet, as it has the potential to become toxic at that point.

    While grown mainly for the aromatic, fern-like foliage, Sweet Annie does indeed bloom at the tips of the branches. They begin as little green beads that gradually turn yellow to golden in color.

    The new growth should appear in spring, though it's been a little cool in many areas of the country this spring, so this could be causing the plants to take a bit longer. I would give it another couple weeks or so before giving up on them.

    Thank you wrangler! This is the rare occasion I went with a plant I was unfamiliar with. We just had 2 days of a warm rain, and that perked at least one of the two back up to be pretty promising. There is just something about a fresh rain that transforms a plant far better than anything coming out of a hose. :-)

    Assuming that you're talking about sweet annie, this article may help you with the basics for this plant: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/herbs/wormwood/wormwood-plant-growing-sweet-annie.htm
    Like any new plant, this needs to be watered generously for the first 3 or 4 weeks. If your plants are wilting, they're probably too dry. Also, you don't need to worry about fertilizer until they are established, and then probably every couple of months at the most.
