Description
Tarragon is a fine herb of French cuisine, with a warm, slightly sweet anise aroma. The more aromatic French tarragon does not produce viable seeds, so it is grown as a plant in the garden—while the sturdier Russian tarragon can be sown, it tastes milder.
Care instructions
Plant tarragon in a sunny spot in well‑draining, not overly wet soil. Trim it regularly in summer to keep it bushy and prevent hardening. In harsh winter conditions, cover it with leaf mulch and divide the clump every three to four years, otherwise the flavor will fade.
