(Sweet Annie, Qing-hao)
Days to Maturity:  100 days to harvest of leaf and flower, 160 days to seed. 
Annual herb native to China. An herb of world importance (the WHO has dubbed it the most important antimalarial treatment available). Plant prefers full sun and sandy, well-drained soil. Actually grows in the wild and at the edges of civilization in waste places. Our cultivar (in answer to the inevitable prodding of doubters), does indeed contain "glandular trichomes" on the leaves (I have examined them microscopically) and we know it must have them, anyway, because it is intensely aromatic and has been the effective starting material for many medicinal products in the US (due to our early inclusion of this herb in our pharmacopoeia here at Horizon Herbs and the subsequent demand for the seed and the herb on an ongoing basis for many years running). Sow on surface of sandy soil and keep moist until germination, which is usually a week or two. Very tiny seedlings grow rapidly and transplant well. Overdose of this plant potentially toxic due to thujone content.
