Remarkable and decorative plant, with finely cut and aromatic silvery-green leaves, and white flowering in panicles. Recognized for its medicinal properties since antiquity, it thrives in well-drained, sandy, or rocky soils, such as road edges and wastelands. Attracting pollinators, its leaves emit enchanting scents of marjoram, rosemary, sage, and thyme. Traditionally appreciated for its digestive virtues, this herbaceous plant, originating from temperate regions like Europe, North America, and Asia, was once associated with women's health, hence its name Artemisia, derived from the goddess Artemis.

Despite its name, the royal nettle is not a nettle! It is a false nettle, easily recognizable by its square stem and the presence of a swelling beneath the nodes (at the leaf insertion points). It is hairy but not stinging. It can reach up to 80 cm in height and has purplish (pink) flowers, speckled with yellow or white. They are grouped together and form a crown of spines: this is the calyx. Flowering occurs from July to October. Like the rest of the nettles (true or false), it is a undemanding plant: it is found in hedges, clearings, along paths or even in fields.

MAINTENANCE AND OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
Nettle seeds do not all germinate simultaneously. CAUTION, invasive plant.
