Mexican Tarragon Seeds (Organic)
Bold flavor, hardy herb.
Mexican Tarragon is a hardy, heat-tolerant herb prized for its aromatic, anise-flavored leaves and cheerful yellow flowers. The slender, dark green leaves have a bold, licorice-like flavor, making them an excellent substitute for French tarragon in recipes. Thriving in full sun and well-draining soil, Mexican Tarragon grows quickly, reaching about 18-24 inches tall. This perennial herb is both ornamental and functional, producing bright, marigold-like blooms that attract pollinators and add color to garden beds or containers. Mexican Tarragon is drought-tolerant and easy to grow, making it a reliable choice for hot or dry climates. Regular pruning encourages fresh growth and ensures a continuous supply of flavorful leaves throughout the growing season. Whether you’re using it to flavor sauces, soups, and teas, or growing it for its beauty, Mexican Tarragon is a versatile and rewarding addition to any garden. Add this fragrant and vibrant herb to your herb collection for a touch of bold flavor and ornamental appeal.
