Tarragon
€6.95
Tarragon (Artemisia dracunculus) is offered here as a small potted plant, a perennial herb with slender, glossy green leaves and a distinctive anise-like flavour, growing to around 80cm tall. It is especially prized in French cuisine, where its leaves flavour sauces, vinegars, butters and poultry dishes. French tarragon, the more flavourful form, rarely flowers or sets seed and is instead propagated by cuttings or division, while Russian tarragon is hardier but milder in taste. A refined, productive herb for kitchen gardens and sunny borders, Tarragon brings subtle ornamental charm as well as genuine culinary value to gardens across Ireland and the UK.

Growing Instructions
Grow in full sun in well-drained, light soil, avoiding overly wet or heavy ground. Water while establishing, then sparingly once settled, as Tarragon dislikes sitting wet. As French tarragon rarely sets seed, propagate by division or cuttings in spring. Provide winter protection such as a dry mulch in colder areas, and harvest leaves through summer for the best flavour.
