HABITAT TYPES AND PLANT COMMUNITIES : 
Absinth wormwood primarily grows on disturbed sites within grasslands,
pastures, perennial crops, and on land abandoned from cultivation [18].

In Glacier National Park, absinth wormwood was found growing with
orchard grass (Dactylis glomerata) and mountain hollyhock (Iliamna
rivularis).  On a disturbed site in West Glacier, Montana, absinth
wormwood occurs with creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera) and
yellow sweetclover (Melilotus officinalis) [13].

The upstream portion of islands in the Columbia River is dominated by
lupine (Lupinus spp.), arrowleaf buckwheat (Eriogonum compositum), and
absinth wormwood [9].

Absinth wormwood occurs with western snowberry (Symphoricarpos
occidentalis) in moist ravines in Saskatchewan [18].
