Vigorous ornamental plants that add the final touch to your herb garden. Thrives in well-drained soil and is hardy at least to zone 5. Tarragon’s linear to lance-shaped leaves grow on plants that can reach 5′ tall. Greenish-white flower clusters appear in June or July.

Sowing Information:

  • Light: Full sun
  • When to Start Inside: RECOMMENDED. 6 to 8 weeks before your average last frost date. Ideal soil temperature for germination is 70°–80°F.
  • When to Sow Outside: Select a sunny site with moderately rich soil. Where temperatures dip below 0°F, mulch well before the ground freezes. Tarragon does best in areas where it does have a period of winter dormancy.
