In the fall, it flowers with 1 cm wide (1/2 inch) yellow blossoms, which have no taste.

The leaves will be about 4 cm wide (1 1/2 inches) and 5 cm long (2 inches).

Cooking Tips

Mexican tarragon can be used in place of tarragon, but use a little less, as it can taste a little more anisey than tarragon, though it lacks the spiciness overall that French tarragon has.

It can also be used for tea.
