Product Details

Mexican Mint Marigold

Tagetes lucida

Mexican Mint Marigold is a versatile herbaceous perennial valued for its fine, glossy green foliage and its fragrant, anise-like scent. From late spring until fall, it produces clusters of small golden-yellow flowers that attract pollinators and brighten late-season beds. The upright, bushy growth habit reaches 12 inches tall and spreads 12 inches wide, offering both ornamental and culinary appeal. Often used as a substitute for tarragon, the leaves can be harvested fresh. Its compact size, tidy form, and strong heat tolerance make it especially useful for regions such as North Texas.
