Mexican Tarragon - Sweet Mace

Mexican Tarragon - Sweet Mace (Tagetes lucida)

Leaves or flowers can be used as a herb or to infuse vinegar. Thrives in warmer climates where French tarragon will not grow. The flavour is a little stronger than the French, has a more anise flavour, and sweetly-scented yellow flowers last long until late summer to autumn.
