Russian tarragon (Artemisia dracunculus) in P9 pot

Russian tarragon is a strong and hardy herb with narrow, fresh green leaves and a mild, spicy flavor. Less pronounced than French tarragon, it's still very vigorous and reliable in the garden. Delicious with meat, fish, and egg dishes, in dressings, or as a seasoning in herb blends.

This perennial plant grows to about 80–120 cm tall and forms an airy, bushy shrub.

Plant in a sunny spot in well-drained, moderately dry to moderately fertile soil. Russian tarragon dislikes wet feet and requires little care. Harvest young shoots regularly to keep the plant compact and vigorous. Hardy and easy to care for, it's ideal for herb or vegetable gardens.

Organic/non-organic
This planting material comes from a small-scale grower without an official organic certificate. But don't worry, we're certain it's pesticide-free.

Stronger plants, honest photos
Our plants are grown outdoors and are completely winter-hardy. They aren't young greenhouse plants, but stronger, perennials that have been growing for a while and therefore have a well-developed root system. By growing in wind, rain, and temperature fluctuations, they are better hardened, more robust, and adapt more quickly after planting than herbs grown in a warm greenhouse this year. Conservatory plants often look greener and fuller, but are younger and less resilient.

Because our plants follow the natural rhythm of the seasons, they can look bare or less attractive in winter. Many perennials die back (partially) above ground and store their energy underground. Sometimes the pot may seem empty, but don't worry: the strong roots are alive and will ensure the plant sprouts vigorously again in spring.

The photos show what the plants look like in winter, so you get a fair idea of ​​what you'll receive if you order in the spring.
