my ebay store Sweet annie herb is very versatile.  Often used as a filler in flower arrangements,wreaths,swags,etc.  The botanical name is Artemisia Annua.  Sweet annie has been in use since 300 A.D..  useful in treating fevers.  Today this herb is used to make Artemisinin, which is a drug used to treat malaria.  Great herb for potpourri and is said to repel moths thus making it a great sachet to add to closets and drawers.  Sweet annie is an all natural deer deterent so it is wonderful to plant near your vegetable gardens.  Sweet annie NEVER looses it's fragrance.  Sweet annie will remain green if kept out of direct sunlight. Have you ever wondered about what sheds from the Sweet annie herb, well it is all seeds which are very very fragrant, sweep them up and keep them to sprinkle on your carpet as carpet fresh and when you vacuum them up they make your whole house smell sweet.  You can roll warm candles in the seeds that shed, or brush modge podge on a picture frame or jar or anything and when tacky just roll or press it into the modge podge which dries clear and leaves your item beautifully covered in a very sweet smelling coating that everyone will be asking you about.  So next time your dried Sweet annie seems to shed, well don't fret, that is a good thing, you can also plant the seeds and grow your very own Sweet annie patch.  Alot of folks buy the dried Sweet annie herb to shake in their garden to grow or on their carpet to vacuum.  If you don't want it to shed then take regular school glue and mix half and half with water and spray on your dried sweet annie to keep it from shedding or some folks use hairspray.  There is nothing more fragrant than fresh green Sweet annie herb right out of your garden, and to dry it, just hang upside down in a dark airy spot and it will then last forever.  If you are wanting to preserve your Sweet annie then buy it fresh picked and stand it in about 3 inches of HOT water mixed with glycerin oil 2 to one and you will see in a couple days the color changing to a dark green sorta like spinach and then you simply remove it from the mixture and dry it off or lay in front of a fan to dry so it won't mold and it will remain soft and fragrant but will have a darker color to it.....Sweet annie is my passion and my all-time favorite herb so that's how I got my nickname Sweetanniegal....You will fall in love with it.....
