tiG has my sweet Annie seeds packaged and ready to go. She asked that if you are sending stamped envelopes to use other than regular white ( maybe just send the 2 stamps) and that it cost about 90 cents to send to Canada. If you are interested e-mail me and I will give you her address; I will not be growing it again due to my housemate's severe asthmatic reaction to the pollen--so if you want the seeds they are available now.
Sweet Annie seeds
Marcia, What is sweet annie?
It is an annual,sweet smelling member of the artesmia family. It grows like a ferny, christmas tree-I had plants from 2" to 7' tall this year, mine grow in part shade. The plants can have thousands of seeds,(esp. when you have a couple of 7 footers) and re-seeds readily(easy to pull, if too many plants-dry the small for potpourri). When dried, it keeps it's scent for months+. I used to wrap fresh branches into wreaths and let them dry on their own. I had no problems with pests or disease. Since I live in WI, I would just let the seed lay where it dropped and it got all it's cold treatment and moisture from Mother Nature. It is a good seller at markets ( dried bunches or wreaths)and a favorite plant.
it smells like heaven!
