This is proof that given the chance, life can spring up anywhere. (sweet Annie)

Nice! Is Sweet Annie the same plant as Sweet Cicely?

 

[thistlebloom]

I just looked it up and they aren't the same. But those leaves are very similar to Sweet Cicely seedlings

Sweet Annie is Artemesia annua, and S. Cicely is Myrrhis odorata.

 

[Todd Ziegler]

I don't know. I have never heard of it being called sweet cicely but given how long and its ability to grow just about anywhere, I would say that there is probably a lot of different names it goes by. Just depends on where you live.

All I know is that I planted it 8 years ago and it spreads like wild fire. Every year I have to get rid of a lot of it and confine it to where I want it to grow.

I have Sweet Cicely, it reseeds also, but only very modestly. The bruised leaves smell like black licorice.

When it gets about two foot tall we will cut a bundle, tie it up and then hang it in the house somewhere and it smells really nice.

Want to trade seeds?

Want to trade seeds?

Yes. I have to wait until mine goes to seed before I will have any. It has been self seeding for 8 years. Funny thing is I planted the original seeds on the north west side of the house and it is now growing on the south east side of the house.
