Tarragon 'French' 9cm
Artemisia dracunculus French, commonly known as French tarragon, is an herbaceous perennial native to Europe and Asia. French tarragon typically grows to a height of 30-60 cm and has narrow, lance-shaped leaves that are dark green in colour. The leaves have a strong anise-like flavour and aroma, which is why it is commonly used as a culinary herb. The plant produces small, greenish-yellow flowers in late summer.
French tarragon prefers a sunny location with well-drained soil, and it can be grown either in the ground or in containers. It is a relatively low-maintenance plant and can be propagated through division or cuttings. French tarragon cannot be grown from seed, as it produces sterile flowers.
It is prized in the kitchen for its peppery aniseed flavour. When using French tarragon in cooking, it is typically added to dishes towards the end of the cooking process to preserve its delicate flavour. It pairs well with fish, chicken, and eggs, and is commonly used in sauces and dressings.
