It is native to temperate regions of Asia, particularly China, growing on forest edges, woodlands and grasslands. wormwood has naturalised in many parts of the world. Sweet Annie typically grows to a height of 3 to 9 feet (90 to 270cm) and 2 - 3 feet (60 - 90cm) wide.
Growing Conditions:
Climate: adaptable to a wide range of climates and is tolerant to light to moderate frosts.
Position: full sun but will tolerate part shade.
Soil: prefers well-draining, sandy, loamy soils but will tolerate various soil types; ideal soil pH should be slightly acidic neutral (around 5.5 to 7.5).
Water: moderate water needs during dry spells but is relatively drought-tolerant once established.
Spacing: space the plants approximately 2 to 3 feet (60 to 90cm) apart.
Propagation: sow the seeds directly onto the garden bed or seed flats/pots surface in early to mid-spring and tamp securely onto the soil surface (light-dependent germinator).
Harvest: Late summer to early autumn before blooms fully open in full bloom.
