Gardeners Dream
French Tarragon is a highly prized culinary herb cultivated almost exclusively for the sophisticated, aniseed flavour found in its slender green leaves. This distinctive taste, often described as a mix of liquorice and vanilla with a peppery bite, is far superior to the coarser Russian variety and acts as a cornerstone of fine French cuisine. It is traditionally used to elevate creamy sauces like Béarnaise, as well as chicken and egg dishes, where its aromatic oils provide a subtle yet complex depth of flavour. This plant is typically grown as a clump-forming perennial that needs a warm, sheltered spot to thrive, as it can be temperamental in damp conditions. While reasonably hardy, it dislikes "wet feet" during dormancy and benefits from winter protection in colder climates. For the best results and most potent aroma, plant it in a location with full sun. It requires light, sandy, or gritty, well-drained soil, as it will rot quickly if left sitting in heavy, waterlogged ground. Please Note: When purchasing plants please consider that each live item is unique and may therefore differ from the images shown, which are for illustration purposes only - The plant will be supplied in a growers pot.
