French Tarragon 9cm

French Tarragon (Artemisia dracunculus) is a prized herb with a distinctive, slightly sweet aniseed flavour – essential in classic French cooking. It pairs beautifully with chicken, fish, eggs and creamy sauces, and is a key ingredient in béarnaise and herb butters.

With slender green leaves and a refined, upright habit, French Tarragon is as elegant in the garden as it is in the kitchen. Best grown in a sunny, sheltered spot with free-draining soil.
