Artemisia annua

Also known as Sweet Wormwood, Sweet Annie is very tall fern like annual with beautiful foliage. Once in bloom the tiny yellow flowers are very fragrant with a sweet smell ( a friend once told me it reminded them of Juicy Fruit gum and I agree !). It makes an excellent cut flower/foliage for arrangements, both fresh and dried. This plant also makes a great back border and adds textural interest in the garden.
