Cultivar Notes -

French Tarragon

This is the true french tarragon, an aromatic culinary herb with a mint-anise flavor. Though it is most often used to flavor vinegar, it’s also great with beef, chicken, fish, soup and salads. This variety rarely flowers, but it adds a wonderful aroma to the perennial or herb garden.

French Tarragon’s name comes from French and Latin origin “little dragon,” perhaps from its fiery taste that chefs and cooks around the world love. An essential herb for any culinary garden.

Genus Notes -

Artemisia

Artemisias are easily grown aromatic herbs with splendid silver foliage. They bring out the best in companions of every color. Most require good drainage and are exceedingly tolerant of drought. These perennials are grown mostly for their colorful, ornamental foliage. Most are very drought tolerant and prefer well-drained, more alkaline soils.
