Amberboa moschata (common name sweetsultan)[2] is a Southwest Asian species of plants in the sunflower family. It is native to Turkey, Iraq, Iran, and the Caucasus. It is also widely cultivated in many places as an ornamental, and is reportedly naturalized in parts of China and North America.[3][4][5]

Amberboa moschata is a branching herb up to 50 cm tall. Flower heads are usually purple, showy, and sweet-scented.[3][6]
