Tarragon, Mexican (Tagetes lucida) seeds, organic

(1 customer review)

$4.95$9.00

Family:  Aster (Asteracea)

Hardy to Zones 6 to 10.

(Mexican Tarragon, Pericon, Mexican Mint) Plant figures prominently in Huichol art, an inspirational and vibrant yellow flower.  As a spice, the leaves are a harmless additive to eggs and other protein dishes, rendering them savory, and the flavor is very much tarragon, but also anise.  Traditional usage (TWM): Colds. Plant prefers full sun and regular garden soil or dry, marginal soils.  I like to sow these in pots or flats in the greenhouse about 6 weeks prior to last frost, then set out in the spring garden.  They need moisture to get established but once established will withstand much drought.  Plant 1 to 2 feet apart.

    Love the scent of the plant. In the Fall, it explodes with beautiful golden yellow flower heads on the tip ends of the stems. Suitable for all soils that are well-drain with full sun. By a sidewalk and everyone walking by loves it. (Unable to attach video…)
