Davanam Plant (Thavanam) – Fragrant Traditional Herb in 10 Inch Black Pot

The Davanam plant, scientifically known as Artemisia pallens, is a legendary aromatic herb prized in South India for its unique, intoxicating fragrance. Deeply intertwined with Tamil culture, Davanam (Thavanam) is an essential component of traditional garlands, religious offerings, and festive decorations. Its scent is so distinctive that it is a key ingredient in high-end international perfumery, yet it remains a humble and beloved staple in Chennai home gardens.

This plant features soft, silver-green feathery foliage that adds a delicate texture to your plant collection. It thrives in the sunny Chennai climate and becomes more fragrant as it receives bright sunlight. Whether you are using it for daily pooja rituals or simply want a natural, aromatic air freshener for your balcony, the Davanam plant is a timeless choice.

This product is delivered as a healthy, well-rooted live plant established in a professional 10-inch black nursery pot. This pot size ensures the plant has a stable root system, allowing it to transition smoothly to your terrace or balcony garden.
