Marigold: Sweet Mace
Image Baker Creek
From Baker Creek:
“Enjoy this late-blooming marigold in teas and other drinks; a great flavoring for many dishes. The herb was known to Aztec, Maya, and Huichol people, who used it ceremonially and medicinally – as well as for dyes and incense. This old Hispanic heirloom variety is hard to find nowadays, but is still a great garden plant that is easy to grow and quite flavorful, often stepping in as a substitute for tarrragon. It can get up to 30 inches tall and bears heads of golden florets in the late summer.”
