Tarragon Plant - 1 x 1L Plant

Harvest leaves by snipping off stems as needed. For best flavor, harvest in the morning after the dew has dried.

Tarragon requires a significant amount of direct sunlight, making indoor growing challenging unless you have a very bright, sunny windowsill or use grow lights.

French Tarragon (Artemisia dracunculus 'Sativa') has the superior, distinct aniseed flavor sought after in cooking. Russian Tarragon has a weaker flavor and is often used ornamentally.

As a hardy perennial, Tarragon can live for many years, typically 5-10 years or more, with proper care and maintenance.

While not strictly necessary, dividing the plant every 3-4 years can help maintain its vigor and prevent overcrowding, especially if grown in a large container or garden bed.

Yes, Tarragon can be dried, but it tends to lose some of its characteristic flavor. Freezing chopped leaves in ice cube trays with a little water or oil is often a better way to preserve its flavor.

This can be due to overwatering or insufficient sunlight. Check soil moisture and ensure the plant is in a sunny location.

The plant may not be receiving enough sunlight. Move to a sunnier spot. Regular pruning can also encourage bushier growth.

Ensure the pot has adequate drainage and is using good quality compost. Check if the plant has outgrown its current pot and may need repotting.

Wash pests off with a strong jet of water or use insecticidal soap. Encourage natural predators like ladybugs.
