TARRAGON

Artemisia dracunculus
Culinary herb that is a must have herb for many French dishes. The 2-4 feet plants produce delicious, smooth, dark, grey-green, thin blade-like leaves that come to a point. Mid-summer it develops small flowers. Tarragon is grown for its aromatic leaves that are often used for flavoring vinegar but they are also used to spice up salads, meats, vegetables, sauces, mayonnaise, cheese, and omelettes.

Tarragon likes dry conditions, water sparingly and avoid getting the foliage wet.
