Tagetes ‘Dropshot’ is a truly unique addition to the herb garden. Known for its feathery green foliage with a delicious sweet aniseed flavour, this little-known member of the marigold family is quickly gaining recognition among top chefs. It offers an exciting, liquorice-like twist to a wide range of dishes including salads, teas, desserts, and main courses. Although it produces small, insignificant flowers, it more than makes up for it with its intense aroma and culinary versatility. Compact and easy to grow, ‘Dropshot’ forms soft, cushion-like mounds that sit beautifully in patio pots, herb gardens or at the front of borders. It’s a great substitute for French tarragon but far easier to grow and maintain in UK gardens. Whether you're a gourmet cook or just love experimenting with home-grown herbs, this charming plant is a standout both for flavour and ease of cultivation. How to Grow Light: Prefers full sun for best flavour and growth. Temperature: Sow at 21–25°C indoors; plant out after the last frost. Watering: Water regularly, especially during dry spells.
