French Tarragon

French Tarragon is a prized perennial herb renowned in culinary circles for its distinct, sweet anise or licorice flavor profile. Unlike Russian tarragon, true French tarragon rarely produces viable seeds and is predominantly propagated through root divisions or stem cuttings. It thrives in well-drained soils and requires plenty of sunlight to develop its rich essential oils, which make it a staple in classic French cuisine, particularly in béarnaise sauce, vinegars, and poultry dishes. The plant features narrow, deep green leaves and slender stems, growing into a bushy habit that adds both aromatic value and visual elegance to garden beds and culinary herb patches.
