Mexican Marigold

A tender perennial up to 1m high, needs frost-free to overwinter with aromatic, glossy green leaves. The leaves are used for flavouring and teas with a tarragon-anise flavour. A good beneficial insect plant.

It is widely celebrated for its ability to enhance dream vividness, promote deeper dream recall, and sometimes induce lucid dream states.

Full sun is ideal. More sun yields stronger, more aromatic oils and abundant flowers.

Drought tolerant once established.
