This is the true french tarragon, an aromatic culinary herb with a mint-anise flavor. Narrow, lance-shaped, dark green leaves are most often used to flavor vinegar, also great with beef, chicken, fish, vegetables, eggs, soup, sauces and salads. This variety rarely flowers, but it adds a wonderful aroma to the perennial or herb garden.
For best flavor, tarragon should be grown in rather poor soil.
