Sweet Annie grows when you aren’t looking
I don’t remember the first time I heard of the herb called Sweet Annie, but I certainly remember the first time I encountered the plant.
I might have read about it in a magazine or herb gardening book, or I might have seen bottles of its essential oil on sale at a flower show or a county fair exhibit.
Regardless of where I learned the plant’s quaint, yet inviting name, I was enamoured of it the moment I caught a whiff of its strong aromatic scent.
The way Sweet Annie smells is difficult to describe. It is a member of the daisy family of plants that oddly enough, has two names, Asteraceae and Compositae and the Genus, Artemisia. Botanists can’t agree on which one it should be, so no matter which one is listed, both are correct. It is also called annual wormwood and sweet wormwood and is a close cousin to Silver King and Silver Queen Artemisias.
