About This Item
Tarragon is a perennial herb which is closely related to sagebrush. This means tarragon thrives in poor, dry, barren soils in areas with warm days and nights. Tarragon grows to 4 to 5 feet tall. The aromatic leaves are thin and blade-like, with a pointed tip.
Tarragon is a 4 - 5 foot tall perennial growing in USDA zones 4 - 9.
Tarragon leaves have a strong, rather sweet anise-like flavor and are used in many foods; particularly, fish dishes. Tarragon is also used in flavoring vinegar. Tarragon is also used to spice up salads, meats, vegetables, sauces, mayonnaise, cheese, and omelettes.
The leaves are used fresh, dried, and frozen. Tarragon loves warmth and sunshine and succeeds best in warm, rather dry situations, and a little protection should also be afforded the roots through the winter, as during severe frost they are liable to be injured. The beds should then be entirely cut down and top-dressed, to protect from frost.
Sowing Rate: 15 - 20 seeds per plant. If green leaves are required during winter, a few roots should be lifted in the autumn and placed in heat: it will only need a small quantity to maintain a succession. If the herb is required dried, for winter use, gather in August, choosing a fine day, in the morning after the sun has dried off the dew.
