Artemisia annua
An annual of the Artemisia family, native to China. Called Qing Hao in Traditional Chinese Medicine and used to treat many types of fevers, malarial complications and to stop bleeding and ease pain of incised wounds. This tall beautiful wispy plant is overwhelmingly fragrant and burning the herb is said to keep mosquitoes away. We love hanging it from the rafters to dry and catching a deep aromatic whiff as the slightest breeze blows through the feathery branches.

Sowing and Growing Information Coming Soon!
Germination of these seeds are light dependent (photoblastic). When sowing, gently press down the soil to create a shallow indent, sprinkle seeds and lightly cover with soil. Do not bury too deep and be sure to keep the surface of your trays moist as you await your seeds to germinate. When watering, use the mist setting on a sprayer hose to gently moisten without too much pressure. Using a spray bottle with water is also a good idea. Heavy water pressure may push the surface sown seeds out of the trays!
