Sweet Annie (Artemisia annua) spacing chart

These values come from the existing crop record. The density column is derived planning math and does not add a new horticultural recommendation.

ContextSpacingGeometric plants/sq ft
Dataset default180.4

Plants per square foot is transparent square-grid planning math (144 ÷ spacing²), not an extension-service recommendation or a guarantee of field performance.

Sweet Annie (Artemisia annua) in raised beds

Enter the raised bed's actual length and width in the calculator. It applies the selected spacing and intensive bed model to estimate how many planting positions fit; it does not assume a crop-specific raised-bed recommendation that is absent from the source data.

Sweet Annie (Artemisia annua) per square foot

At 18″ spacing, square-grid geometry equals approximately 0.4 plants per square foot. This is a geometric planning estimate based on the displayed spacing—not an agronomic guarantee. The calculator may use a different documented model for intensive bed layouts.

Why sweet annie (artemisia annua) spacing changes

Variety, production system, support, and planting layout can change usable spacing. Plantometry keeps the sourced default editable and shows a range only when the crop record supports one.

Planning notes

  • Horizontal netting
  • Corralling
  • Pinching

Medium producer. A planting stays productive across a more limited window, so closer succession timing helps keep supply steady.

  • Pinching is commonly used in this production system.
  • Support netting is commonly used.
  • Corralling for structural support is commonly used.
