ELEGANT, FLAVOURFUL and a classic in French cuisine, this perennial herb is treasured for its spicy aniseed-like flavour.
Category: Herbs
(Perennial)
An upright perennial growing up to 1 metre tall, with aromatic leaves and small pale yellow flowers in late summer. A fabulous plant, perfect for growing in a terracotta pot in full sun. Its leaves produce a mild aniseed flavour which has an intense flavour and goes well with eggs, fish, cheese and poultry, also an essential ingredient in Bearnaise sauce. French tarragon has the best, most superior flavour.
Planting
Plant in beds or containers, in well-drained soil or compost, in sun or partial shade.
Care
Water well until established, they prefer slightly drier conditions.
Height & Spread:
60 – 120cm × 45 – 60cm.
Harvesting
Harvest leaves by snipping them with scissors, ideally in the morning when their flavour is most potent. Regular harvesting encourages bushier growth. Avoid harvesting more than one-third of the plant at a time.
