Is common wormwood invasive?
A perennial plant, common wormwood emits a bad smell and prospers often on empty dry wastelands or over-grazed ranches. Once it invades, wild animals, plants and the quality of pasture all suffer badly. It's very reproductive - one single plant could produce 100,000 seeds that can live on for 3-4 years. Besides, it also intoxicates other plants around it. Common wormwood would compete on ranches with the ideal pasture and other plants, resulting in reduction of biodiversity and drop of pasture quality.
