Sweet Wormwood Seeds (Artemisia annua) – Annual Wormwood, Qinghao, Sweet Annie
General Description
Sweet Wormwood (Artemisia annua), also known as Annual Wormwood, Qinghao, or Sweet Annie, is a highly aromatic herbaceous plant valued for its medicinal, ornamental, and insect-repelling properties. Native to Asia and Eastern Europe, this fast-growing annual is best known as the natural source of artemisinin, a compound widely used in malaria treatments. Its delicate, fern-like foliage and small yellow flowers make it an attractive addition to herb gardens.
Plant Characteristics
Sweet Wormwood grows as an upright, bushy herb, reaching 1–2 meters in height. The finely divided, feathery leaves have a strong aromatic scent, and small, clustered yellow flowers appear in late summer to autumn. The plant thrives in warm climates and is highly resistant to pests due to its natural insect-repelling properties.
Cultivation Recommendations
• Soil: Prefers well-drained, light, and sandy soil with a neutral to slightly acidic pH.
• Light: Requires full sun for optimal growth and essential oil production.
• Watering: Moderate watering; drought-tolerant once established. Avoid overwatering.
• Temperature: Thrives in warm to temperate climates; tolerates light frost but prefers temperatures above 15°C.
• Germination: Sow seeds on the surface of moist soil without covering them, as they require light to germinate. Maintain 18–24°C for germination, which takes 7–21 days.
Uses and Benefits
• Medicinal Uses: The plant is a natural source of artemisinin, used in anti-malarial treatments. Also valued in traditional medicine for its anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting properties.
• Insect Repellent: Strong aroma repels mosquitoes and pests, making it a great companion plant.
• Ornamental Value: The feathery green foliage and small yellow flowers add beauty to herb gardens and landscapes.
• Dried Arrangements & Fragrance: Often used in dried bouquets, sachets, and herbal potpourris.
