I tried an annual, Sweet Annie, for the first time this year. She is a very sweet smelling artemesia. I was so pleased. She grew to 5 feet and all summer had soft, delicate light green ferny foliage. In late September she put out tons of tiny, tiny yellow flowers. At that point I picked some bunches and hung them to dry in the kitchen. The whole house is perfumed. And now, she has given me her final present. She has turned gold with reddish brown branches for fall. She is famous for reseeding but that doesn't always happen in this zone and I definitely want to see her next year. I saved some seed in the packet just in case.
