Autumn Golds

Lots of plants offer golden blooms or leaves in autumn, and they can make any garden glow. Here are eight of our favorites.

Mexican Mint Marigold
Ralph Anderson

Mexican Mint Marigold

Tagetes lucida
This herb is covered with masses of tiny yellow flowers late into the fall. It prefers full sun and works well in a perennial border or herb garden. Use it as a substitute for French tarragon, which does not like hot, humid Southern summers. Enjoy its licorice scent in the garden and in your kitchen creations. Use it as a perennial in the Middle, Lower, and Coastal South; treat it as an annual in the Upper South.
