Wilders 3.5' Tarragon French

Artemisia dracunculus var. sativa

Tarragon 'French' is a prized culinary herb known for its aromatic, slightly sweet, and anise-like flavor—essential in classic French cuisine, especially Béarnaise sauce, poultry dishes, and herbal vinegars. Its slender, lance-shaped green leaves grow on upright stems, making it a graceful addition to herb gardens and container plantings.

French tarragon is a tender perennial and does not tolerate harsh winters, so in Northern Connecticut (Zone 5–6), it’s best grown as an annual or overwintered indoors. Unlike Russian tarragon, French tarragon is propagated by cuttings or divisions, not seed, due to its sterile nature.
