Sweet Annie - Artemisia annua

Artemisia annua – ‘Sweet Annie’

$5.25

(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.

The Blue-podded Capucijner (cap-ou-SIGH-nah) is a hardy pea first grown by the Franciscan Capuchin monks. Beautiful, bi-colour lilac/pink and wine-red/purple blooms, fading to blue as they wilt. Pods are deep inky purple/blue. Best used to make delicious, full-bodied soups.  An edible-podded sugar pea by harvesting before peas have developed.Great long term storage food.
Beautiful heirloom pea that is pretty enough to grow as an ornamental for the edible gardening fans, even if you don't like peas. The dark coloured pods really stand out against the background of the bright green leaves making them very easy to pick. It is a good choice for children and the elderly.
