Sweet everlasting has many common names, such as "rabbit tobacco," and "fragrant cudweed." It has a long history of medicinal use for treating a wide variety of ailments. The plant itself has a wonderful fragrance that is enhanced once it is dried. The scent has been compared to caramel, maple syrup, and balsam.
