Also known as Spanish Tarragon.
Although not in the same genus as the other tarragons, winter tarragon has a stronger flavor than Russian tarragon that does not diminish significantly with age.
Growing to 3 or 4 feet, Tagetes lucida is handsome in the garden and may be cut for use all summer and fall. Even if left untrimmed, the leaves remain usable and fresh throughout the growing season.
Try growing winter tarragon in an herb garden, flower bed, or container. Let it be the bright spot in your herb garden, which often needs a boost by summer's end. The upright plants pair well with other fall bloomers such as pineapple sage. Plants bloom lightly in the spring, then profusely in the fall.
Hardy to at least 5 degrees, and very easy to grow.
