Possibly Atimesia absinthium

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artemisia_absinthium

Thank you. It could be, though many of the sources on artemisia absinthium that I just checked suggest a shorter, bushier plant.

The foliage on this plant is quite feathery with a pleasant feel to it, not like, e.g., artemisia vulgaris, another one I looked at. If not artemisia, then what?

look at Artemisia abrotanum

Hi, folks. Still not sure we've nailed this one. Any other suggestions? Many thanks,
Gary

Is it close to flowering yet?

if they are struggling to ID.. you might consider a better pic ... including a leaf.. and group of leaves;. and of course.. when it flowers.. such

ken

It must be close to flowering; that would be a help. Unfortunately, I'm quite a distance from the garden i found it in. Maybe the owner can send me a pic when it's in bloom. It really is quite a handsome plant, even when not in bloom.

The owner just sent me a photo of the plant in flower. Does this get us closer to an identification?

Many thanks for your help.

Looks like sweet wormwood to me
