I have two beautiful wormwood plants and they look like they are dying. I thought they were evrgreen and I thought they were perrenials. Does anyone know about this plant?

Wormwoods are perrenial as far as I know. I've seen wormwood plants survive a Candian winter and still be alive in the spring. Depends on where you are though. Perhaps the climate isn't ideal for wormwood? It is fall though. Some plants look like they are dying in the fall and come back in the spring. Perhaps they aren't evergreen but are still perenials. This plant is used to make Absinthe. The root has quasi-hallucinogenic properties.

As collegekid says, they are probably perennials for you. They do die back in fall; they are not evergreens. You can cut the dead stalks to the ground this time of year, or leave them there to hold snow cover and cut them back in spring before new growth starts.

In zones 4-10 it is a perennial so if you are in those zones the answer to your question is yes.

Could be deciduous, and just loose the leaves in the fall/winter and grow them back in the spring.
