It is a herbaceous perennial plant, with a hard, woody rhizome. The stems are straight, growing to 0.8-1.2 m tall, grooved, branched, and silvery-green. It is an ingredient in the liquor Absinthe, and also used for flavouring in some other spirits and wines, including bitters, vermouth and pelinkovac.
