We first became acquainted with Sweet Annie when we worked at Hayhurst Valley Organic Farm and Nursery, where our boss, talented farmer Kate Wilen, made beautiful garlic braids, everlasting bouquets, and wreaths. Sweet Annie, with its long, pliable branches, beautiful fragrance and delicate light green, ferny foliage provides an ideal wreath base. It doesn’t have showy flowers so it’s not much to look at in the garden, but the fragrance is divine. Tall, bushy plants can reach 6′ in height and over 3′ wide. Harvest for wreaths at onset of flowering. Traditionally used in Chinese medicine to treat fever, and more recently its main compound has been used in treating malaria. Will self-sow if allowed to set seed. Aka, Sweet Wormwood.
