Tricky to grow, but with the right conditions you will find a beautiful stand of this feathery foliaged dark green herb. Raised beds with good soil fertility and good drainage are ideal, and will allow the plant to spread by underground rhizomes. It also does very well in containers, although best to dedicate the pot to just tarragon to realize its full potential. Divide crowded pots or beds to keep plants vigorous and productive. Susceptible to root rot, so don’t over water. It’s a tender perennial, so protect from frost.
