Mexican Mint Marigold, also called Mexican Tarragon, is an upright bush grown for edible golden flowers and anise foliage hinted with citrus. Plants reach about 24 inches and hold bright clusters for a long season in herb, flower, or container plantings.
Start indoors before the last frost or sow outdoors into early summer, then thin or transplant to final spacing. Pinch young plants for bushier growth and deadhead to prolong bloom. Needs average well-drained soil in full sun.
