This Artemisia is especially wonderful as the foliage is highly aromatic, and has been used for centuries as an air freshener, but it will also fill your yard with a very pleasant scent on the breezes. Most importantly, it is now used as an antimalarial drug, and is working so much better than any of the existing drugs, which have now become ineffective. It has anti-parasitic and antibiotic attributes as well, and a natural pesticide and insect deterrent. Plant Sweet Annie near your porch or patio and keep the gnats, mosquitoes and other pests at bay all summer long. Is pleasant in sachets, and it is a bug and spider deterrent when placed in sachets in closets and dark places. And it “REPELS” deer, too. Yeah !!!!
