Does anyone know what this is? I was given a mixed herb container and it included this one. It has a very strong licorice taste.
Did something stupid: took a bit of a chance to taste an unknown; I assumed it was edible since it was in the planter, but one never knows if it was bought elsewhere. Would not recommend tasting any plant without proper identification

Maybe Stevia?

I sure looks like stevia and I do have some that I seeded, as well as bought one. The mystery herb isn't sweet. It is a very distinct strong licorice taste

Texas tarragon, maybe? It has a licorice taste & smell.

Mexican Mint Marigold (Tagetes lucida)

Texas Terragon! I think you are right. The planter combo was suppose to contain tarragon, but I was looking for French Tarragon. Thank you Carol

What is Texas Terragon used for in cooking?

You can use it dried and ground into a powder in soups & sauces. It has an anise flavor. Google tarragon recipes, and I'm sure you'll find all sorts. You can also make a tea with it. It can replace french tarragon in any recipe calling for it. I use it on broiled fish along with other herbs.

will do

Never heard of it. Now I really wan to grow some, bet it would make great tea mixed with mint.

I've never used Texas Tarragon, but often use the French. Love it on chicken, fish, and turkey. Always use it on chicken when I make it in the oven. Just put the chicken peaces into a pan, dot with butter, Add about a 1/4 inch of white wine, sprinkle with garlic powder, tarragon, and S&P, and bake for an hour. Baste it often.
I wonder where I can get some seed for the Texas tarragon?

Mine hasn't even started to bloom yet. It will probably be mid to late September before it does. I've never tried to gather seed - I'll see what I can do about that this time. I received the plant a couple of years ago at a swap we had on a cubits forum.
