Artemisia annua – ‘Sweet Annie’
(Sweet annie; Qing-guo) Sweetly aromatic herb with fragrant green fern-like leaves on tall, graceful plants. In fall they shine as masses of flowers like little beads bloom at the tips of the branches. A crafters dream; its highly aromatic branches are used in dried floral arrangements and to make scented wreaths and is fabulous filler for mixed bouquets. I love its fresh, clean, herby scent!
A modern medical star, this Chinese antimalarial herb is our last line of defense in parts of the world where the malaria parasite has become resistant to all other drugs. Has been cultivated in China for at least 2000 years.Its isolated constituents show promise as an anticancer agent as well.
