📖 About This Plant

The king of the French herb garden. Slender, glossy leaves with an intense anise-licorice flavor essential for béarnaise sauce, fines herbes, and French vinaigrette. Must be grown from cuttings — seeds produce inferior Russian tarragon.

🌱 Care Tips

Buy transplants or divisions — do NOT grow from seed (those are Russian tarragon, which is flavorless). Needs winter dormancy. Divide every 2-3 years to maintain vigor.
