Tarragon seeds — the aniseed herb of French cooking

Tarragon is a prized culinary herb with a warm, aniseed-like flavour — essential in French cooking, from béarnaise sauce to chicken and fish. Seed-raised tarragon (the Russian type) is gathered under Artemisia dracunculus within our culinary herb range. New to herbs? Our herb growing guide covers the basics.

Tarragon is sown in spring — the herb calendar shows when.

Russian and French tarragon

The tarragon grown from seed is the hardy Russian type, milder than French tarragon but vigorous and easy. A perennial, it sits among our perennial and aromatic herbs and crops for years once established.

Growing tarragon from seed

Sow in spring in warmth and grow on in full sun and free-draining soil — tarragon dislikes winter wet. Pick regularly to encourage tender new growth, and the flavour is best on plants grown a little lean and dry.
