Overview

French Tarragon (Artemisia dracunculus 'Sativa') is a perennial herb valued for its aromatic, slender leaves and subtle anise flavor. Typically reaching 2-3 feet in height, it thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. Use its delicate green foliage to accent borders or as a culinary highlight in kitchen gardens. Hardy in zones 4-9, it requires minimal water once established and prefers warm, dry conditions. Avoid overly moist soils to prevent root rot.
