For wreath making you can harvest it when the branched stems are green and pliable or wait until they are golden. The rich fragrance of the foliage will last for years.

Ornamental:
Sweet Annie has a Christmas tree shape and a graceful, feathery appearance and has tiny yellow flowers which are barely noticeable. The lush green foliage in summer turns a pretty reddish brown hue in autumn.
