Tagetes lucida Cav. is a perennial plant native to Mexico and Central America. It is used as a medicinal plant and as a culinary herb. The leaves have a tarragon-like flavor, with hints of anise, and it has entered the nursery trade in North America as a tarragon substitute. Common names include sweetscented marigold,Mexican marigold, ''Mexican mint marigold, Mexican tarragon, Spanish tarragon, sweet mace, Texas tarragon, pericón, yerbaniz, and cempaxóchitl.
Description
Tagetes lucida grows 18-30 inches (46–76cm) tall. Depending on land race, the plant may be fairly upright, while other forms appear bushy with many unbranching stems. The leaves are linear to oblong, about 3 inches (7.6cm) long, and shiny medium green, not blue-green as in French tarragon (Artemisia dracunculus var. sativa). In late summer it bears clusters of small golden yellow flower heads on the ends of the stems. The flower heads are about 0.5 inches (1.3cm) across and have 3-5 golden-yellow ray florets. The flowers are hermaphroditic (have both male and female organs) and are pollinated by insects.
In this episode, Tim Wardell, Texas Certified Nursery Professional and Marketing Manager at Shades of Green Nursery + Landscape, discusses Mexican Mint Marigold (Tagetes lucida), a great fall-blooming perennial for North Texas.

The Many Uses of Mexican Tarragon
Morag Gamble of Our Permaculture Life (www.our-permaculture-life.blogspot.com.au) explores the many uses of Mexican Tarragon - a great permaculture plant.
MEXICAN TARRAGON: THE PLANT
Tarragon is a perennial hardy herb (of the sunflower family) which renews itself every year with fresh new growth. The abundance of soft leaves smell like liquorice when rubbed. Some people love it, others are repelled - a bit like the cabbage moths and other pests (a good reason to plant it in many places around your garden!)
There are three tarragons - French, Russian and Mexican Tarragon. Of the three, French tarragon (Artemisia dracunculus) has the more refined aroma and flavour and is better therefore for culinary use. The french variety is usually flowerless - this is a good way to tell the difference...

Don’t confuse Mexican Marigold Mint with Calendula Marigold, (Calendula officinalis L.). Even though the European herbalists called Calendula, Marigold or Pot Marigold, it is not kin to Mexican Marigold Mint or French Marigold.
Calendula is an annual that blooms early in the spring that honey bees also enjoy and is also a source of resin. Calendula is a well known healing herb.
In Texas, Calendula is considered a cool weather flower as it does not survive the Texas summer heat. It could be started in the summer for fall forage.

Morag Gamble of Our Permaculture Life (www.our-permaculture-life.blogspot.com.au) explores the many uses of Mexican Tarragon - a great permaculture plant.
MEXICAN TARRAGON: THE PLANT
Tarragon is a perennial hardy herb (of the sunflower family) which renews itself every year with fresh new growth. The abundance of soft leaves smell like liquorice when rubbed. Some people love it, others are repelled - a bit like the cabbage moths and other pests (a good reason to plant it in many places around your garden!)
There are three tarragons - French, Russian and Mexican Tarragon. Of the three, French tarragon (Artemisia dracunculus) has the more refined aroma and flavour and is better therefore for culinary use. The french variety is usually flowerless - this is a good way to tell the difference. Russian Tarragon (Artemisia dracunoculoides) has far less flavour and the flavour diminishes with age too. Mexican Tarragon (Tagetes lucida) is a good substitute for the French Tarragon in cooking.
In a cold winter, the tops of tarragon will die right back. Cut off these dead top growth and cover well with mulch. New growth with burst through when the warmth returns. Tarragon is thought to be a nurse plant - enhancing the growth and flavour of crops grown with it - eggplant especially.
MEXICAN TARRAGON IN THE KITCHEN
A couple of leaves added into a salad or sauce add a fresh twist. You don't need much as the flavour is so strong. Although I have seen tarragon referred to in French and Mediterranean cuisine, I was unaware that it is actually one of the four finest seasonings in traditional French cooking. I will endeavour to be a little more creative in the kitchen with this lovely herb.
It's good to note that it's never a good idea to use tarragon in soups or dishes needing long boiling time as it can become bitter - or just add them at the very end.
TARRAGON HERB VINEGAR
A lovely herb vinegar can be made by steeping a large handful of the soft tops in apple cider vinegar for a week. After one week, remove the herbs and store in a glass bottle. Culinary herb vinegars are used in salads, cooking and marinades.
TARRAGON FOR TEETH
Tarragon can be used to reduce tooth pain. It has a similar effect to cloves - numbing the area. Apparently ancient Greeks knew this and used to chew on a few leaves to ease the pain of toothache. Actually the essential oil, eugenol (the same as in clove oil), is in therapeutic use in dentistry as a local anaesthetic and antiseptic of toothache complaints.
TARRAGON FOR EYES
Tarragon supports the overall health and function of eyes because it is rich in potassium and beta carotene.
TARRAGON FOR DIGESTION
Tarragon can improve natural digestion but it can also relieve common digestive problems. It has long been used as a digestive tonic because it aids in the production of bile by the liver. It has also been used in traditional folk remedies for ridding the bowels of intestinal worms.
TARRAGON FOR GOOD SLEEP
Tarragon tea (a handful of leaves in hot water, steeped for 5 minutes) can be used as a mild sedative to help relieve anxiety and stress. Make a cup before bed for a good night's sleep. The tea can also relieve gas, indigestion and help cure hiccups. Adding mint and ginger to the tea would be add to the tea's value in soothing indigestion.
TARRAGON FOR HEADACHES
Throwing a handful of leaves into a pot of boiling water and inhaling the fumes will help to soothe a headache, and also clean the nose and chest. Tarragon vapour can also ward of mosquitoes flies and roaches.
TARRAGON - THE ANTIOXIDANT
Another surprising piece of information I found is that fresh tarragon is one of the highest antioxidant value food sources among common herbs. It is a very rich source of vitamins such as C, A, as well as the B-complex group. Being rich in phytonutrients and antioxidants, Tarragon helps to promote heath and prevent diseases. Studies have found that tarragon oil works as a free radical scavenger.
Fresh herbs are always preferable to dried herbs for the nutrient and medicinal value. If you can grow or access fresh herbs, always choose this. Tarragon will grow well in a pot if you have little garden space.
TARRAGON MINERALS
Tarragon is also an excellent source of minerals such as calcium, manganese, iron, magnesium, copper, potassium and zinc.
How do you use Tarragon - in the garden, kitchen or medicinally?

Leah and I are two humans who no longer support the inhuman, oligarchic empire model destroying our planet and our true nature as human beings. As activists we decided to do something about it, so we opted out of our former lives to begin anew. We are currently transforming pristine alpine wilderness into a self-sustaining homestead and organic farm in preparation for the upcoming collapse. We plan on developing and executing every single step of the process in open source format for the benefit of all humanity. With our backgrounds in academia and the sciences (climatology, geology, physics, biology, chemistry, and more) we hope to uncover the lies perpetrated by the mass media. It will be presented here and on our website in a systematic and thorough process. As you can imagine, this is a multifaceted, lifelong project, and we are so passionately excited to take the next steps towards self sufficiency and our dream!

Morag Gamble of Our Permaculture Life (www.our-permaculture-life.blogspot.com.au) explores the many uses of Mexican Tarragon - a great permaculture plant.
MEXICAN TARRAGON: THE PLANT
Tarragon is a perennial hardy herb (of the sunflower family) which renews itself every year with fresh new growth. The abundance of soft leaves smell like liquorice when rubbed. Some people love it, others are repelled - a bit like the cabbage moths and other pests (a good reason to plant it in many places around your garden!)
There are three tarragons - French, Russian and Mexican Tarragon. Of the three, French tarragon (Artemisia dracunculus) has the more refined aroma and flavour and is better therefore for culinary use. The french variety is usually flowerless - this is a good way to tell the difference. Russian Tarragon (Artemisia dracunoculoides) has far less flavour and the flavour diminishes with age too. Mexican Tarragon (Tagetes lucida) is a good substitute for the French Tarragon in cooking.
In a cold winter, the tops of tarragon will die right back. Cut off these dead top growth and cover well with mulch. New growth with burst through when the warmth returns. Tarragon is thought to be a nurse plant - enhancing the growth and flavour of crops grown with it - eggplant especially.
MEXICAN TARRAGON IN THE KITCHEN
A couple of leaves added into a salad or sauce add a fresh twist. You don't need much as the flavour is so strong. Although I have seen tarragon referred to in French and Mediterranean cuisine, I was unaware that it is actually one of the four finest seasonings in traditional French cooking. I will endeavour to be a little more creative in the kitchen with this lovely herb.
It's good to note that it's never a good idea to use tarragon in soups or dishes needing long boiling time as it can become bitter - or just add them at the very end.
TARRAGON HERB VINEGAR
A lovely herb vinegar can be made by steeping a large handful of the soft tops in apple cider vinegar for a week. After one week, remove the herbs and store in a glass bottle. Culinary herb vinegars are used in salads, cooking and marinades.
TARRAGON FOR TEETH
Tarragon can be used to reduce tooth pain. It has a similar effect to cloves - numbing the area. Apparently ancient Greeks knew this and used to chew on a few leaves to ease the pain of toothache. Actually the essential oil, eugenol (the same as in clove oil), is in therapeutic use in dentistry as a local anaesthetic and antiseptic of toothache complaints.
TARRAGON FOR EYES
Tarragon supports the overall health and function of eyes because it is rich in potassium and beta carotene.
TARRAGON FOR DIGESTION
Tarragon can improve natural digestion but it can also relieve common digestive problems. It has long been used as a digestive tonic because it aids in the production of bile by the liver. It has also been used in traditional folk remedies for ridding the bowels of intestinal worms.
TARRAGON FOR GOOD SLEEP
Tarragon tea (a handful of leaves in hot water, steeped for 5 minutes) can be used as a mild sedative to help relieve anxiety and stress. Make a cup before bed for a good night's sleep. The tea can also relieve gas, indigestion and help cure hiccups. Adding mint and ginger to the tea would be add to the tea's value in soothing indigestion.
TARRAGON FOR HEADACHES
Throwing a handful of leaves into a pot of boiling water and inhaling the fumes will help to soothe a headache, and also clean the nose and chest. Tarragon vapour can also ward of mosquitoes flies and roaches.
TARRAGON - THE ANTIOXIDANT
Another surprising piece of information I found is that fresh tarragon is one of the highest antioxidant value food sources among common herbs. It is a very rich source of vitamins such as C, A, as well as the B-complex group. Being rich in phytonutrients and antioxidants, Tarragon helps to promote heath and prevent diseases. Studies have found that tarragon oil works as a free radical scavenger.
Fresh herbs are always preferable to dried herbs for the nutrient and medicinal value. If you can grow or access fresh herbs, always choose this. Tarragon will grow well in a pot if you have little garden space.
TARRAGON MINERALS
Tarragon is also an excellent source of minerals such as calcium, manganese, iron, magnesium, copper, potassium and zinc.
How do you use Tarragon - in the garden, kitchen or medicinally?

Mexican Marigold Mint
or Texas Tarragon
Tagetes lucida
In Mexico it goes by:
Cloud Plant
Sweet Mace
Mexican Tarragon
Mint Scented Marigold
Root Beer Plant
Yerba Anis
Yerbanis
Hierba Anis
Coronilla
Pericon
Hierba de las nubes
Don’t confuse Mexican Marigold Mint with Calendula Marigold, (Calendula officinalis L.). Even though the European herbalists called Calendula, Marigold or Pot Marigold, it is not kin to Mexican Marigold Mint or French Marigold.
Calendula is an annual that blooms early in the spring that honey bees also enjoy and is also a source of resin. Calendula is a well known healing herb.
In Texas, Calendula is considered a cool weather flower as it does not survive the Texas summer heat. It could be started in the summer for fall forage.
Mexican Marigold Mint is however kin to the French Marigold, Tagetes patula
French Marigold is a heat loving annual that re-seed itself which also provides forage for the honey bees. French Marigold, however does not have the anise aroma or medical benefits of Mexican Marigold Mint, in fact it pretty much stinks.

Tagetes lucida Cav. is a perennial plant native to Mexico and Central America. It is used as a medicinal plant and as a culinary herb. The leaves have a tarragon-like flavor, with hints of anise, and it has entered the nursery trade in North America as a tarragon substitute. Common names include sweetscented marigold,Mexican marigold, ''Mexican mint marigold, Mexican tarragon, Spanish tarragon, sweet mace, Texas tarragon, pericón, yerbaniz, and cempaxóchitl.
Description
Tagetes lucida grows 18-30 inches (46–76cm) tall. Depending on land race, the plant may be fairly upright, while other forms appear bushy with many unbranching stems. The leaves are linear to oblong, about 3 inches (7.6cm) long, and shiny medium green, not blue-green as in French tarragon (Artemisia dracunculus var. sativa). In late summer it bears clusters of small golden yellow flower heads on the ends of the stems. The flower heads are about 0.5 inches (1.3cm) across and have 3-5 golden-yellow ray florets. The flowers are hermaphroditic (have both male and female organs) and are pollinated by insects.
