(Sweet Annie, Qing-hao) Native to China, growing in the wild, at the edges of civilization and in waste places. Plant prefers full sun, requires little moisture, and tolerates a wide range of soils, growing quickly to 7 feet, flowering in dangling yellow balls.

Very tiny seedlings grow rapidly and transplant well.

i was able to germinate these with no problem. i poked holes in the bottom.of a jiffy seed starter tray for drainage, removed the peat moss tablets and filled it with miracle grow tropical mix soil, soaked it down, sprinkled the seeds and patted them down, then set the tray in the bed of my pickup truck in full sun. the sprouts began to appear after nine days. still too small for a photo but i can see them clearly

Question
Jeri Jaynes –
In the catalog, it says antiviral, antimalarial, vermifugal, and antipandemic. Do you mean anti pandemic, as in our current pandemic of covid 19 & it’s variants? How do you use this herb for these properties? I always heard it was antimalarial, but assumed it was complicated and needed to be used by someone who knows what they are doing, and carefully due to the high thujone. Are there simple ways of using it, such as in a tea, that a lay person can use on a regular basis? I always wished I could make a tea that tastes like it smells, but thought it might be dangerous to use. I saw a question & answer about using it in coffee; is there a way to use it, and it not be bitter? It is so prolific, I would love to learn how to use it. Where can I find out more about this herb and easy ways to use it? Thank you

Hi Jeri, Artemisia annua is being tested and used worldwide right now. a quick google survey through the scientific papers will show you much. Artemisia annua contains no thujone at all. You can get a level-headed preparation and dosage protocol in my book “making plant medicine.” Here’s a link to one of the scientific studies on it: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34479848/#:~:text=annua's%20biological%20properties%2C%20action%20on,to%20better%20fight%20the%20infection.

Would Sweet Annie do well in a container?
Upvote if this was helpful (0) Downvote if this was not helpful (0) Watch Unwatch Flag for removal
Richo Cech –
Hello Lesha,
Yes, they’re fine in a container. They tend to size themselves to the container–if in a gallon pot, will tend to grow 2 feet instead of the 7 or so feet that one would expect if grown in the open garden.

Hello Kate,
As with anything, toxicity is dosage-dependent, so you want to stick to prescribed preparations and dosages. This can be found on page 114-115 of “Making Plant Medicine” 4th edition.

Hello, can you tell me if your ‘Artemisinin annua’ is the same thing as ‘Artemisinin annua anamed’? I read about this plant on a site in Germany anamed.org it might be a non-profit site. I’m wondering if ‘anamed’ is a real variety or maybe they just put their name on the end. Is delivery to BC possible? thank you
Upvote if this was helpful (0) Downvote if this was not helpful (0) Flag for removal
Richo Cech –
Hello Van,
I would say it is not the same thing. I would say what we have is traditional qing-hao (Artemisia annua L.), not a select varietal. You have to be very careful in this, because it isn’t just artemisinin that’s doing the work.
