Meet French Tarragon

French Tarragon is the classic culinary tarragon prized in French cooking—and it’s very different from the tarragon most people might be familiar with.

Unlike Russian Tarragon, which is hardy but largely flavorless, French Tarragon is prized for its refined, anise-like aroma and subtle sweetness. Interestingly, it doesn’t produce viable seed, so it has to be propagated from cuttings.

This is the tarragon used in béarnaise sauce, fines herbes, and traditional French kitchens. Its flavor is delicate and easily lost if mishandled, so it’s best used fresh and added toward the last stages of cooking.

French Tarragon is especially well-suited for:
• Eggs, chicken, and fish
• Cream sauces and vinaigrettes
• Béarnaise and herb butters
• Fresh use in simple dishes

Why French Tarragon is different

Flavor: Light, aromatic, gently anise-like
Propagation: Grown from cuttings, not seed
Growth habit: Tender and slow-growing
Use: Best fresh; flavor fades with high heat

What arrives with your plant

• One market-ready French Tarragon, grown from a cutting
• A digital care & harvest card (print and save)
• A classic culinary herb

Care, the simple version

Light: Bright light to partial sun
Water: Even moisture; do not let soil fully dry out
Harvest: Snip lightly and often
Climate note: Not heat- or frost-tolerant; protect from extremes
Bonus: Compact growth ideal for containers

(Full guidance included with your care card.)
